NetFlix

Lillith LOVES to watch movies and high quality programming. Jonathan is a big documentary fan. We've had no incoming T.V. signal since 2001 and do all our video viewing through NetFlix rentals. The best thing is we can watch a whole season of a good show w/out waiting week to week for another episode and there are NO COMMERCIALS! This allows us to control the video input to our house and brains. We are totally thrilled with their service and selection. If you join or are a NetFlix member, remember to make Lillith a Friend so we can share recommendations!
