Matthews would work for me! I googled Blockbuster but didn't see them listed in Matthews. You don't happen to have their address do you? Thanks for this information.
Per their website store locator feature (and Google):
I'm so not up-to-date on all these new ways to stream movies from computer to HDTV. I tried to learn it but got confused and gave up. Thanks for your reply.
It's pretty easy. The Roku remote only has 9 buttons on it. (2 more if you want to play Angry Birds)
This thread is bringing back old memories! I loved wandering around the video rental store, browsing at the immense display of new movies and old movies too. Redbox only offers new movies I think you can't find movies more than a few years old on there...so what do you do then? Get Netflix? I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned.
I was excited too, until I walked in there. a third of the store is games, another third new releases, the remaining third is recent tv series, and some kids videos. NOT the "old" video store model at all, no wonder they can't compete.

Aren't all video rental stores that way? I remember a section being dedicated to video games, a section being dedicated to TV shows and the rest to new release movies and a smaller and more confined area to older movies.
I suspect that at some point these stores will go by the wayside except for a few places that specialize in older harder to find media. Sorta like the 1 or 2 record stores left in Charlotte that specialize in vinyl records. The days of physical media for video & games is fast disappearing.

Really? Last time I was in there, they still had plenty of "older" movies. Nothing obscure or outside of the mainstreamm, though. Granted, that was a few months ago.
If you want obscure and/or interesting movies with the added bonus they are free, i recommend browsing through the public domain (copyright has expired) movies and old TV shows on archive.org. There is a ton of stuff there. Even vintage TV commercials and game shows. This stuff I don't ever remember being on DVDs or VCR tapes that much maybe because there isn't really any way to make money on them.
If you have a Roku, you can add the Nowhere TV channel and watch them directly on your TV.
