When home, we get two movies per day from Net Flics and copy them to a small 1T drive made by Western Digital from Costco. The drive will plug directly into the back of the newer TVs making it very easy to use.

Umm.. making a copy of a "rented" movie for any reason is "pirating".
I would recommend you read the TOS (terms of Service)from NetFlix..
Even making a backup copy of a DVD you buy is pretty much a grey area crossing over to actual pirating depending on how one interprets the "Fair Usage" law.
It is definitely pirating if the commercial DVD has been encrypted to PREVENT you from doing what you are doing! Bypassing the encryption via software is not legal which is why some of the software companies that "broke" DVD and BluRay encryption have been shut down..
Consider yourself warned..
Coasting off of a hill at 66 MPH is also illegal when the posted speed limit is 65MPH

Bill, telling someone online that YOU are doing something stupid like pirating RENTED DVDs isn't very smart on your part..
Telling others that it is OK with what you are doing will not help them get out of fines or jail time if they choose to follow your example.
Those RENTED DVDs do not belong to you, you are paying a license to VIEW the material directly from that media.
There ARE folks who do read forums like this one LOOKING for tips on pirating.
Consider yourself warned.
