The Netflix classic catalog is indeed spotty like everything else they stream, but there are some intriguing, rare titles, like British mysteries and noirs I've never seen before (no doubt costs Netflix nothing, or next to nothing, to license).<br /><br />Recently got an decent indoor antenna, and to my joy and surprise discovered Movies!, Me-TV and Retro TV. I do miss TCM though. I suppose it would be prohibitively expensive for them to offer streaming on demand.

Drat! But it is in Memphis, so it may pop up eventually here in the mid-state.<br /><br />TCM is the only channel I truly miss, since we dropped cable tv and went to streaming and broadcast. I mean, Netflix and HuluPlus -- hmm, interesting: the in-line spell checker recognizes Netflix but not HuluPlus -- have lots of great stuff, but their catalog of classic films is rather spotty.grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.com
