Too many price increases, too many changes in the business model, and of course, the Qwikster debacle are all reasons I switched from Netflix to DISH. I wanted live sports, news and features anyway, and DISH's new Blockbuster @ Home movie package is MORE than sufficient for my family's movie needs. A DISH coworker told me about it, and I get access to over 100,000 movies, games and TV shows. And, as it were, it costs less per month than Netflix.

They will just find some way to overcome the obstacles and then Netflix will be facing some tough competition, as Reed Hastings has predicted.
