The Canadian version has very limited content. It's OK if you've got kids and want to occupy them, but very few recent "big" Hollywood movies or major TV shows. The US version has a lot more content, but you need some technical know-how to get it here in Canada.

It's "tier" 2 or 3 for content. After theatre or first run TV, it goes to BluRay/DVD then to private viewing like Pay per View then to Netflix... So it'll always be available elsewhere first.

But if it's not time only but for some harder to find content, it's pretty good. And cheap...

I have it running through my blueray to the tv, plus use the same account on 3 tablets. It's ok... As others stated limited content, but I do see it improving. For the price, and the first month free, you should give it a try, and decide for yourself.

I have NetFlix but I run it through witopia so that I get the American version at home.

Yup, been a subscriber for about a year. While I've found that the video quality has dropped (was approx. DVD quality when I started, now it looks like the average downloaded video or worse) the content has improved. Nothing really current, but they've been beefing up the TV shows which is cool. I've discovered a couple shows that I wouldn't have normally looked at, plus now they've got pretty much ALL the episodes of Top Gear so that's kept me occupied! Pretty handy to have content available at home through the PS3, on the iPhone, at work on the computer, wherever you go. I don't have regular TV, just Netflix and I use torrents to download shows if I want something recent (hurray for eztv.it!)

for 3 bucks more per month you can now get shaw's movie club added . same idea as net flix, but better quality, way way better selection, and more new stuff. basicly if it is available on PPV or VOD you can watch it with movie club.
