We might sometimes wait a week to watch a recording of something but in general we watch things within about 3-4 days of broadcast.

I'm still watching shows I recorded last summer, so being forced to watch stuff before I'm ready would be a step closer to the old system of being beholden to the programme schedulers. I want good flexibility, which Netflix gives me, so hopefully we will get an alternative via Amazon Instant before too long.
If we got a subscription deal with them, that would be the best solution. I understand from others on here that it's only the first run HBO dramas that are subject to an exclusivity deal that prevents this.
