I keep hearing about this thing called "netflix" and everyone seems to be on it but I don't know what it is. Is it some kind of a basketball thing? like a thing to help you get better at basketball or something? I don't care for the game so I never checked into it

Netflix is where you pay a monthly fee (i think it's about $8) to be able to download movies and t.v. series right to your computer or t.v. and watch as many as you want for as long as you want.

A small correction. 

You don't download them, you stream them. They don't take up any space on your device. 

I just have a PC, and a landline

If you have internet you can have netflix. One of the coolest features of it is that you can start a series or a movie, get interrupted, then minutes or days later, whether you've closed your browser of computer or whatever, you can still start back up to the moment you left off.  It saves your place.  It also makes suggestions for new features based on what you watch, which is nifty.

Netflix is popular with the cord-cutters - those that cancel cable and other pay television services.  A few advantages are that Netflix doesn't require a long term commitment so you can cancel at any time and you can watch movies/shows at anytime.

It won't work well (or at all) if you access the Internet over a landline.

They have a send for DVDs through the mail service as but we always neglected to send them back.

I believe it might have been one of the things that caused the video stores to go out of business.

Time to join the 21st century Duncan and sign up for high speed internet. It's about $ 45 /month in Canada. We get poor service for more money up here so be grateful. I gave up satellite TV and cable and am hooked on phonics I mean Netflix. Lots to watch. I currently am rewatching all 193 episodes of X files, in preparation for the new series. Lots of good old British TV series and many movies. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE !!!

I absolutely love it..and in fact..giving up a lot of channels on Comcast because I can get a better deal with Netflix.  Some of their series are great!! I am hooked on "House of Cards".

Duncan..how can you not like basketball?:D

We cut the cord a long time ago and have been avid fans of both Netflix and Hulu - though we use Netflix more often.  We are watching all of the episodes of the Andy Griffith show right now, but we have watched a number of excellent documentaries, British shows and movies, and classic movies.  It is a great service and I never have to deal with what passes for Comcast's customer service.

No commercials.

Netflix is the only thing that can keep me on a treadmill for more than 10 minutes.

That's called a dreadmill for a reason.

The problem with Netflix is that good movies are a rarity. And i don't like watching a lot of the tv shows because they're too much of a time commitment.
