Admittedly, Groundhog Day is a pretty generous offering for inclusion in the Netflix "Watch Instantly" catalog, but aside from that the offerings are pretty slim, especially when it comes to newer movies or highly acclaimed independent films. Ironically, it seems the more "in demand" a movie is, the less likely it will be available "on demand" (at least through Netflix.) Is this an issue of licensing, or a lure for the customer to pay "$2 more a month?" Hmm... Otherwise thank you for your very informative blog.
Bodo, Thanks for the comment. I agree but as I mentioned in my email back to you, expect things to improve as over the top viewing becomes more and more popular.
