I used to have Blockbuster and Netflix 3 at a time each, plus the in store exchange with Blockbuster which put me at 9 movies at home at one time.  Since I have changed my cable to digital with DVR and HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax, I have canceled my Blockbuster subscription because my DVR was piling up and I wasn't watching enough movies from Blockbuster or Netflix to justify keeping them both.

I would get some from the library, but they charge a 1.50$ wear and tear fee.... what a joke!  >:(

I didn't think about what is on my Tivo.

The video section at my library closes much earlier than the rest of the library. The availability is pretty limited and there are fees involved. That is what sent me to Bockbuster. I get new releases from Blockbuster because my Netflix is usually filled up with marathon films that my boyfriend doesn't want to watch.

One final comment. The Post Office took away the mail box at the end of my street. Why would they do that? Now I have watched Netflix movies hanging around for weeks because I have to go out of my way to mail them.  :-\

Only 2 at a time from my rental service, but between rentals, buys, downloads, stuff I've borrowed from other people and stuff I've taped off of TV, I usually have about 70-80 movies at home ready to be watched (that I haven't seen). It's nice having options.
Oh, man,  I didn't even think of stuff I have from...other resources. That puts me up in the 70-80 range with you.

Oh ok, that's another thread then.

All of this.

I generally have 3-4 from Netflix and one or two from Family Video.

how many of those get burned is a different question...
