Has anyone messed with the new starz vongo movie Dl service? Looks like they are trying to compete with netflix, with DL instead of mailing movies.
Naturally vongo does not have the newly released movies, like netflix. And vongo charges $3.99 for what they call PAY PER VIEW, even though they are still not new DVD releases. So I can see paying $3.99 for older "new releases" would cost much more than netflix.
I dont see any advantage, unless your happy with mostly older movies. Those you can DL as much as you want for $10 a month (pay per views not included).

Your vongo DL movies expire also, but some are good for months and months of viewing.
You also have to DL the free vongo viewer software.

Checked it out, even downloaded their software a few months ago and the selection was terrible

basically. The actually delivery system, while not perfect, is actually quite good. The issue, once again, is the content. They only play starz movies

By the way, cancelling an account with them requires staying on the line for a long time, it's not worth it.
