Well I don't know what they want to call it, but their service is
actually worse than Netflix. I tried it for a month. There was one
period where I had seven movies in my queue for a whole week (starting
from when my other movies had been returned and recieved by them) where
I had zero movies out. Finally I called and asked "why has a whole week
went by with no movies being sent when I've got seven movies in my
queue and every single one is available now?" The guy said "you should
have 30 movies in your queue to make sure you've always got available
movies." I told him what does it matter if I have 3 or 300, if they all
say available now they should be sent now. He agreed and had no excuse.
I let the free month finish out and did not renew. Worst. Service.Ever.
