hummmmm....is that my problem?

63.26.11.147

about 1 out of 5 (by actual count) DVD rentals from Netflix wouldn't play or froze or pixelated so awefully that I finally canceled my subscription with them. I have a Dennon DV 5000...and cleaned the discs that wouldn't play with Auric Illuminator (helped twice--but not completely).

I hope you're wrong about the machinery...that Dennon's top player isn't the problem...)never had a problem with store-bought DVDs(

so I bought JVC's last best effort consumer VCR, and went back to rentals from the grocery store...

...I've never had a VHS failure...never rented a VHS tape that failed to play. Is there anything worse than setting up for a weekend film fest and having THREE Netflix DVDs that would not play? AT ALL. Matrix was one of them...and a break-up and freeze during your first viewing of that flic really crushes the buzz.

Anyway...now I download from the Dish Network. Literally...Far Out.
