Anyone else have it?

One of the best impulse buys I have made. Love the documentaries on instant play.

I have it. Make sure you have the Roku XDS for streaming HD.

Have it. Instant is through Wii which has worked great. I'm disappointed with the number of selections on Instant, but have been reliving a lot of events (NCAA Championship games and older television series) on DVD.

I've got it. My daughter uses it more than my wife and I do. I use Amazon for most of my video downloads and there is a rumor that Amazon will be launching a subscription service soon to compete more directly with Netflix. If they do, Netflix could be in for a bumpy ride.

^ Hoot, how have you not weighed in on the "Do I have to love UK..." thread. I could use someone of your ilk to argue for or against! Smile

I thought I had weighed in. :biggrin: I agree with you 100%. I don't really care for Coach Cal's coaching but the geniuses who hired Billy Gillispie and then let him coach for two years with no contract have already proven that they can do much, much worse than Calipari. So, I see no contradiction in loving UK and not loving its coach. You can enjoy doing both with a clear conscience, IMO.

Ah, you did. I just came out of the thread and forgot:Thumbs: I just saw you hovering out there :biggrin:

For those that have it let me make some documentary recs for you:

1.Cocaine Cowboys & Cocaine Cowboys 2= Awesome docs about the Colombian cocaine explosion in Miami and how it took over the country.

2. Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia= The followup to "The Tap Dancing Outlaw" about Jesco White. Tis focuses more on the rest of the family.

3. King of Kong= The story of the King Kong World Record and a guys quest to break it. Surprisingly good.

4. Man on Wire= About a French tight rope walker who hatches a plan to cross the World Trade Towers secretly.

5. Exit Through the Gift Shop= Academy Award nominee about the world of street art and the way Hollywood commercializes "art". I am not very artsy, but I thoroughly enjoyed.

6. Pressure Cooker= Inner city Philadelphia school that has a particular culinary teacher and class that offers kids a way out.

7. Restrepo= Academy Award Nominee that intensely follows a group of soldiers fighting in one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan.
