Yup.. I was paying like idano.. $10 or $11 for unlimited streaming and 2 DVDs last summer... now it's getting a second increase and going up to $20.

Me - haven't watched anything yet except for being in the room with my kid
Son - after a few stray movies (albeit a couple of good ones), mostly a few missed eps of things like Ultimate Warrior, Billy the Exterminator, 70s Show
Wife - a few movies, otherwise mostly old TV (AbFab, Ally McBeal, 30something, etc)
At the moment (i.e. summer break) there's probably $20 of value in it for them. Once school starts back, I've got my doubts about that.

This is the problem. Outside of TV to some extent, their streaming selection still sucks. I need to look into hulu more, but I really see no way I go streaming only.

See above. If they want to do that, they'd damned well better step up their game.
