If you rely on Netflix for your viewing entertainment, you may have to wait a day for your next fix. The online-DVD rental company is suffering from a technology breakdown that's given its web site a TKO.
More than 7.5 million subscribers may be going into movie shock as they try to get to the Netflix website. The site was down at 7 a.m. on Monday morning and still AWOL by Monday afternoon.
The website reads: "Our site is temporarily down. We're working hard to get the site up as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
The company, based in Los Gatos, may be at least a day behind on mailings because of the tech problems. The tech problems have filtered down to some of the distribution centers.
