Netflix – Puerto Rico
I am not a huge fan of zoning out in front of the ‘idiot box’ for hours and hours with a bag of chips, some mountain dew and a couple hand fulls of bon-bons…but I do like what watching movies does to me sometimes…totally zones me out to where I think/see nothing but the movie. I stop thinking about tile choices, bank mortgage rules, contractors, grass, landscaping……blah blah blah.
I joined Netflix last night. I am now paying $17 a month for unlimited movies shipped to my PO Box here in Rincon. I’ll let you know how well that works out…I started my list this morning….”When will I get my first movie?”
The drawback to using Netflix in Puerto Rico is that there is no “on-demand” feature here. In the main 50 United States you can browse movies that you can watch on your computer instantly! When I went to download one last night…they informed me (after I signed up) that would not be able to view movies instantly.
I am looking into maybe using a “proxy IP” or something that would make my computer look like it is on the mainland. I got researching and found something called “TOR” and the plugin for FireFox. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and let you guys know what is up with that working as a mainland IP address. Do any of you have any suggestions?

hey guys,
its your occasional stalker. lol.
I’m actually a netflix member and i love it. my plan’s
about $17 as well and I get to rent 3 movies at a rent for however many times in that month. i like the fact that i can return it whenever i want and the selection is great. i like indie & foreign movies while my boyfriend digs the superhero comics and anime stuff. no, he’s not 16–i swear. almost 30 actually! anyways, i usually get my next movie withing a day or 2 turnaround time. good choice. check me out on the friends list if you’d like. thanks! nina
