There are ways to make it work. Google it.

Which Virgina, Paul Nancy were you using?
The free ones tend to suck.

I know how you feel. We love netflix too in the UK although its still new here and the library isn't as large. Not sure how I will survive if there was no Netflix and obviously no Blockbusters....

btw we have a good DVD/Blue-ray library that's definitely coming with us in our container. Is it likely that customs will confiscate them? for e.g. my 18 rated lock, stock and two smoking barrels movie

For every "I don't know why people are fretting, brought everything in no problems" there is a "Can you believe they even took Dirty Dancing because of the title?".

In summary, it's a bit of a lottery.
