I have a simple question. Do either of these companies offer two queues in one subscription? I basically want a kids queue and a parents queue. One for kids movies, one for us parents. That way, when a child is done with a movie, it gets sent back and the next movie from the kids queue gets sent to us. The same thing for parents. If a parents movie is sent back, a new movie from the parents queue is sent to us.

Thanks!

not netflix, they want you to have two subscriptions for that feature
you get one queue per subscription

my wife manges our queue , 80% of the dvd's we get these days in the mail are tv series she watches , she usually gets one movie/kid movie around thursday/friday so we can watch it on the weekend

the instant watch content is getting better so dvd queue issues are becoming less annoying. i do wish there was separate instant watch queues for each device (roku, xbox360, pc etc)

I am in the same boat but its not that much of an inconvenience to shoot a kids movie to the top when they are done with one.

Actually, netflix most definitely does support this. Look up the profiles feature:

Q:
What is a Profile?
A:

Each member of your household can have a unique Netflix username, which is their profile. An account owner can create up to 4 additional profiles. Each profile has its own separate ratings history and recommendations, its own community of Friends and its own Queue. Parents can set limits on the maturity level of movies their younger family members can place in their Queue.

What Devious said...
My kids have their profile/queue and I have mine.
I'm on the 3 at a time plan, 2 at a time dedicated to my queue, and 1 for theirs.

Wrong.

You can have multiple queues in netflix, you just need to add another user. You can have multiple users per subscription.
