I do, but despite other requests, I only share with my parents - it's set up on the TiVo I bought them. They pretty much use it to watch nostalgic tv shows, maybe once a month. I consider this a grey area, because they'd never pay for Netflix, they don't watch many movies or much tv at all.
Do You Share a Netflix Account?
Profiles are a great way to share a Netflix account with a roomate, but what about sharing a Netflix account with someone in a different state? A reader asked an interesting question: My friend lives in DC and is subscribed to the $13.99 2 DVDs at a time unlimited package. I just got a Netflix...
Jake: you should have your roommate contact support about the specific recordings he's had issues with. =
I Finally Unplugged my TiVo
I finally unplugged my TiVo Series 2, and I'm going to cancel the service and not upgrade to a TiVo HD. I briefly considered it, but Comcast OnDemand now offers HBO and Showtime in HD, and with Netflix, Roku Player, Xbox 360, and Hulu, why do I need to pay for TiVo service and another box? Almos...
<3 my Series3 TiVo. But working there has its benefits ;)

I went to The Guild panel at BlizzCon, and we got to see this on the big screen. It's a fun video.
Do You Want To Date My Avatar
Felicia and Guild-pals do pop! (yep, catching up post-holiday...) "Here in cyberspace there's no dis-ease..." Superb - and it's a co-pro with Jed Whedon, no less. (Thanks Matthew!)
Question... spraying the roses with compost tea? I thought the point of compost was to add more organic matter to the soil. Does *that* have science backing it up?
Compost Tea & Roses
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column in the Pacific Northwest magazine of the Seattle Times about how the Woodland Park Zoo's rose garden has gone organic. Wouldn't you expect master gardeners, of all people, to laud landscape manager E.J. Hook's efforts to ditch the chemicals? Nope. Here's...
I <3 my Series3 TiVo with lifetime :) I've never had issues with Netflix not working, but I only really use it on weekend nights.
TiVo Offering Customers Upgrade Discount on HD DVRs
TiVo is offering Series 1 & 2 customers that have owned a TiVo DVR for more than a year $50 or more towards a new HD TiVo, capable of streaming Netflix movies. You can check to see if you're eligible on the Tivo website. I'm getting close to getting rid of my Series 2 and the $12 monthly fee. ...
I got one of those for Christmas from some friends. It's a lot of fun :)
Final Frontier for Star Trek toys?
We've seen Star Trek stuff a-plenty recently but there appears to be a couple of gems left to filter through to try and beam the spare cash from your wallet. This oversized keyring number from Red5 is entertaining enough to liberate £12 from your stash, eight sounds from the original series i...
