DS episode streaming on Netflix
« on: December 28, 2013, 01:14:57 AM »
According to this article, as of Jan. 1 Netflix will (possibly/probably) no longer have 400 episodes of DS available for streaming:

I seem to be one of the few who still rents actual DVDs from the service, and my perusal of the catalogue shows the entire series *of discs* still coming up available, though I'm sure that in some instance, there may be a wait because only certain warehouses probably hold certain discs.

Above article states that there are also a few hundred DS shows available on hulu, which probably means the "hulu plus" service.

Rights to streaming vs. rental rights seem to operate according to different rules and provisions.  I don't know anything about it.

How 'funny', I will be setting up a  Netflix account today and was hoping to continue the WP using it. I refuse to get paranoid, lol.

I really hope you find a creative solution and get back on the WP stat, dom...
