Post Gazette about a new internet site called Clicker.com that is like Hulu where you can watch movies, tv episodes, etc. for free. It's been in testing for several months and now is available to the public for free. I checked it out and it's pretty interesting as it has available 400,000 tv episodes, 50,000 music videos , and roughly 30,000 movies. Went to watch an R-rated movie and the thing they do require is your birth date and verification that that is in fact your true birthdate. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/gold-membership-1#post-501 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:38:11 +0000 Mark 501@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>The reason noone answered is likely that the question is so easy to answer by clicking on the "Gold Membership" link at the top of the page, that everyone is busy snickering at you for not having the sense to do so. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/the-cost-of-keeping-a-redbox-dvd#post-500 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:34:28 +0000 Mark 500@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>You are confusing the daily cost with the actual charges to your credit card.</p> <p>Their billing process charges your card for the first night, then doesn't actually charge your card again until you return the DVD or until another 24 nights have passed. But what you owe them is accruing every day.</p> <p>So your credit card statement will show charges for $1 plus tax on the first night, then $24 plus tax on the 25th night (or whenever they get around to charging you.) And that's all. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/i-thought-the-goods-didnt-come-out-till-december-cause-i-cant-find-it-in-stores#post-499 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:05:33 +0000 october262000 499@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>i guess redbox goofed because dvd is supposed to come out 12-15 2009 </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/the-cost-of-keeping-a-redbox-dvd#post-497 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:43:03 +0000 livnup2006 497@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>i always thought if you didnt return a redbox dvd they charged you 1.00 + tax a night for 25 nights then it was yours but now they are saying not only do they charge the 1.00 + tax for 25 nights that on the 25th night they charge an additional 24.00 + tax for a total of $52.43 after tax or $50.75 before tax. is this true or is it just the 25 nights worth of charges? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/i-thought-the-goods-didnt-come-out-till-december-cause-i-cant-find-it-in-stores#post-496 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:28:34 +0000 livnup2006 496@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I went to the redbox at 12:01 and rented the new movies for the week on Nov 17th and there was the movie "The Goods" which im almost positive isnt supposed to be released until december does anybody know what happened? was this a mistake on redboxs part? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/gold-membership-1#post-495 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:10:55 +0000 jduvall021 495@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>after two weeks still nobody can answer that simple question? why pay this site money for an "upgrade"?? do we get anything extra??? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/will-bruno-be-available-at-redbox-kiosks-tomorrow#post-494 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:50:58 +0000 briansmccabe 494@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>ssia.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/why-hasnt-redbox-looked-at-renting-space-in-airports#post-493 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:13:32 +0000 superkid 493@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I saw a redbox in the Cincinnati airport last week.

I rarely rent as redbox anymore as a result. I don't get why redbox is so slow to stock BDs. It's not like it's a tiny niche format anymore.

I bet that this increase will be nationwide next year.

I guess manufacturers have figured out how to make kiosks zap-proof in rainy weather (look at all the cola machines that are completely exposed.) I visited Redbox outdoors all last winter in OK. They seemed to work fine for the most part, but I did walk up a couple times and encountered a dead touchscreen. I bet they have heaters. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/hey-who-deleted-my-post#post-489 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:59:06 +0000 Michael 489@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Definitely no deleting going on, so who knows what happened.</p> <p>BTW, if anyone wants to post info about stories and such, this forum is the best place for that, not as a reply in the comments of another story.

The kiosk faced north, but and the sunscreen seemed to help keep the light rain off the touchscreen. Yesterday I found another site (facing east)that also has a screen. Not all locations here (Oklahoma City) have them, so I suppose they are being installed in phases.

I have a cell phone, but it's pay-per-minute model and I don't text, because that costs a LOT more than using voice. So, in order to get a "free movie" code, I'll have to pay almost a dollar for the text message that saves me a dollar on a movie. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul!</p> <p>If they can generate unique one-use codes for texting, why can't they do the same for email? If it's tied to my email address (which is apparently tied to my debit card, since my email shows up when I rent something), then that should effectively prohibit someone with a different email address from using the codes. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/renting-movies-increase-to-2#post-480 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:36:18 +0000 Muzhik 480@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Still $1 in IA </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/redbox-android-app#post-479 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:09:28 +0000 Michael 479@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Still no progress in that area - although I did pick up a new Motorola Droid last Friday.</p> <p>We are getting closer to having everything we want in the current iPhone app, and I think once we get there we will look more closely at the Android version. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/how-can-we-get-them-to-include-blu-ray#post-478 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:21:40 +0000 Alan Smithee 478@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>They had a few (and I mean very few) Blu-Ray titles in my area, but they seem to have disappeared. They were grouped in with the regular DVDs, so that made it hard if you were looking specifically for Blu-Ray, and I bet some people without Blu-Ray players mistakenly rented them too not knowing they couldn't play them. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/new-releases-not-available#post-477 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:27:32 +0000 dac5151 477@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I have not seen Aliens in the Attic even though it was advertised for a short-time on a redbozx.
