Netflicks?
Tried to get info from NetFlicks help/chat ... must be talking in Martian tho as I can't seem to phrase my questions properly. We're thinking of dumping the cable again - What a waste of a good TV ...

I did a bandwidth test and found that one hour of streaming movie uses one GB of bandwidth - so the 5 GB limit that many data plans have will be used up with one and a half average movies.
Redbox has machines in many Walmarts and supermarkets. You can rent a DVD from one Redbox machine and return it to another so this is an alternative to streaming video while traveling. There are apps to find Redbox locations and also their website should tell you where their machines are located.
We subscribed to Netflix DVDs for several years but discontinued the service as it was completely unusable while on the road - streaming uses too much bandwidth in the MiFi and DVD mailing won't work on the road.
We started using Redbox and found it to be a great alternative. Redbox are almost everywhere and you can check them out of one place and turn them in several hundred miles away wherever you may be. I use the or website to locate the Redbox closest to us both where we are at and where we will be. It doesn't have the selection of old movies available at Netflix but works great for us on our 6-7 month trips every Summer and we also have one a mile from us at our S&B as well for when we are home.
