Netflix Loosing

From the International Business Times:
"Netflix Movies Disappearing 2015: Over 50 Movies And TV Shows Expiring In July"

It’s the most feared time of the month for Netflix subscribers: which of their favorite films will no longer be available to stream in the next month? With July just around the corner, here’s a complete list of the TV shows and movies that are disappearing from the lineup to make room for new streaming choicesAccording to IGN, a sizable scoop of TV shows are on the chopping block, including the old school “Mission: Impossible” and the “Hawaii Five-O” series. Movies set to disappear from the Netflix nest include nostalgia-fest favorites like “The Muppets Take Manhattan” and “The Care Bears Movie.” For grown-ups, some popular action movies are also set to leave your Netflix queue come July, including “Patton” and “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.” For “Terminator” fans looking to prep for “Genisys,” they might want to revisit James Cameron’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” before it expires at the start of the month. If you’re looking for a good movie for a quiet night in, Tim Burton’s “Big Fish” or the Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell classic “Four Weddings and a Funeral” would make for a sentimental popcorn date. So take a look at the list of movies gone from the popular streaming site. Check your queue, and if you see a beloved favorite film or a movie you’ve put off checking for some time, get to it this weekend before it’s gone.

    ^ It seems that Netflix is doing a lot of things that aren't so good. They separated their DVD and streamlining into two separate parts. Then they stopped accepting and sending out new DVDs on Saturdays. Now they continue to take movies and TV shows off their site - even if it is to add new ones. All of that and the USPS changing their processing so that it used to take 1-2 days to get a movie by mail and now it takes 3-5 days. I get the feeling that Netflix will eventually get rid of its DVD service once it figures out it's streamling service and that would be bad for me as I can't get their streamling (or any streamling) on my mountain. ^
