Whether you pay The Man for your cable television, or you have gone further off the grid with a Roku, Boxee, or Apple TV device... you probably enjoy your Netflix Instant. But who can keep up with all those options, especially now that Amazon has offered a competitive membership, unleashing 5,000 more movies and television shows (should you choose to subscribe to their prime program). Each week we'll bring you our instant-watch picks from both of those outlets, as well as Hulu Plus. We'll also be sure to give you a heads up on what to catch before Netflix sends it to the cyber-guillotine.
Feel free to send along your own recommendations... and stay tuned for our first picks coming up next (and every) Tuesday!
