Warner Archive Instant drying up? (1 Viewer)

[Paul Penna]

Selection has shrunk dramatically and new additions have slowed to a trickle. What's going on with Warner Archive Instant?

I'm thinking the same thing, I might cancel my subscription.

I just canceled a few weeks ago after really loving the service for a couple of years. The posting of new titles had slowed to a trickle and even then a lot of them were mostly forgotten 1970s TV movies. I'll keep my eyes on their updates and re-subscribe if it looks like it's getting better.

Yeah, I just cancelled mine too.

I canceled two years ago for the above stated reasons. I wish Turner Classic Movies would offer a $10 to $15 streaming option like HBO and Showtime offer for Apple TV, Roku and other streaming boxes.

Maybe Warner Archives will begin to take blu-ray seriously now or, at least, loan out titles to the likes of Kino, Twilight TIme and Olive. I never considered signing up for Instant, not at all my thing. Maybe classic film lovers are more traditional than the powers-that-be imagined them to be.

Ditto here. I cancelled probably about a year ago. From time to time, I will check the site - seems the same, nothing much new, just recycling previous stuff. :-(

Pure speculation, but with Turner Broadcasting apparently planning stand-alone streaming services as per the link below, perhaps the good stuff is being skimmed off WAI and will be diverted to a TCM streaming channel.

I'm very disappointed with Warner Instant. Service cancelled this week.

This press release shows where Warner films will be going.

I'm in - sign me up for FilmStruck.

I haven't subscribed in awhile. Part of it was that it would constantly stop playing would "buffer" in the middle of a movie. Very annoying. Also, the video quality wasn't up to par with Netflix.
