Me too, I'm glad they are finally putting a stop to it.

Uh, Netflix and Hulu.

Limited choice, and you usually don't get the current shows. If you're a Game of Thrones fan, Hulu and Netflix aren't going to be of any help.

Differerent strokes, different folks, all that jazz.

Netflix and Hulu are enough for my viewing habits.  I have enough of a backlog of TV shows I'm vaguely interested in (I didn't watch TV shows at all through the 00's) that I'm more then fine for now and the forseeable future.

Also, what EE said.

I too use Netflix. Game of Thrones requires me to wait until it comes out on DVD (and I consider the quality worth supporting monetarily, which means piracy is out and I have no qualms with the cost of buying the DVD sets,) but seeing as I've read every book in A Song of Ice and Fire multiple times, I don't much mind waiting. Netflix can cover my desires with television and get a fair amount of the films I want, so I don't mind the selection. For everything else, there's public libraries.
