While I don’t think the original idea to separate DVD and streaming was a terrible one, Netflix stock really took a beating in the past few weeks.  Several of my clients have switched to streaming — not because of the proposed separation — but due to the pricing changes in July.  However, Netflix recognized that the DVD business is still healthy and cannot be demoted to second fiddle.

They will still charge 8.00 a month for the most basic DVD package and 8.00 a month for unlimited streaming.   You can still get two or three DVDs at a time for $14 to $17 a month.

Help is still available if you wish to transition to the streaming account and get Netflix (or Amazon Prime) video on your TV.
