Disappointed with Netflix..

I'm so disappointed with Netflix.

We joined a few weeks ago and even though it got such great recommendations from everyone, my DH and I keep getting DVDs that we can't play!

For some reason towards the middle of the movie (usually just when it's getting good!), the DVD freezes and won't play anymore, or the picture breaks up.

We tried everything they suggested on the website (Windex, changing the picture format), and they still won't play. It's happening to almost every disc we rent.

Does anyone else have this same problem with Netflix???

We're thinking of canceling...

I don't have Netflik anymore but that only happened to me once in almost 2 years as a member. You may have a problem with your DVD player, I don't see how it could happen with all of them. I really like Netflik, I just don't watch movies enough for it to be worth it.

It most likely is your DVD player you should check that out. Alot of the new DVD players have these new softwares that are being installed in them. So maybe you should check that out.

i've been a member for about a year and that's happened to us maybe once or twice. i'd get your player checked out before you cancel the membership.

We have been members for over 3 years and very rarely have any problems with the DVD's. But I think ours come from a San Jose,CA warehouse.

I agree with double checking your dvd player. Good luck

haven't tried netflex - but we have that problem frequently with blockbuster - most of the time cleaning it helps but sometimes we notice some deep scratches

Re: Disappointed with Netflix..

I don't think its the DVD player because it's happened on three different players. We tried cleaning the discs, too! The discs that it's happening on are all scratched and one even looked like it had a dull area, like the metallic part was rubbed off or something. I'm not sure what we're going to do.
