Apple suspends/cancels planned TV service.

The above article says that the planned service has been suspended, but after reading the article, it appears it's been scrapped to me.

The BBC said that when legislation is introduced next year to close the so-called “iPlayer loophole”, which would see the licence fee extended to include video-on-demand viewing on the service, consumers will be able to access its online TV player in Europe.
Excellent, i assume this will be inputting your TV Licence number or something like that? As i don't ever use iPlayer that means i'll be able to sell my number to someone for a monthly fee, so recouping some of my outlay :)

Of course i'm just joking* but i wonder if that will happen?

*maybe i am ;)

Netflix are really accelerating the commissions, more now than even HBO:

Quote:

He said the company continues to ramp up original programming, with the number of scripted shows growing to 31 next year from 16 this year. Netflix also has 10 feature films in production or about to be released, 30 kids shows, a dozen documentaries and 10 stand-up specials. “It’s not just a lot of volume. This is quality stuff,” he said.

Netflix's bosses have always said they want to be the new HBO with their own content. But, if in the near future they achieve that and only show their own stuff, will they still be successful?

The whole point of Netflix was to watch films, but if they only show their own films and tv, will everyone still subscribe in such large numbers as now?

To justify current subscription rates, let alone any future price rises, there will need to be a lot more than 30 new shows on Netflix.

Not for me. I got Netflix to watch old tv shows as I liked. They're now removing a lot of content for their own made stuff. Haven't watched any of it except house of cards and they continue to remove stuff I like.

Yes I am looking at whether it is still worth paying for every month, as i haven't watched any of their original content. However, I know my sister would be upset if I did cancel as she watches OITNB on there. Wonder if she's saying something?

For any particular reason? They have commissioned some very good content.

To be honest, I haven't looked at all of it but what I have seen of their original content just doesn't appeal to me. It might be that I am just not giving these things a chance, I might give some of them a watch over Christmas and New Year.

Google Chromecast £22.99 with free delivery ;-)

Not sure if this is the old or new version. I think they normally sell for about £35.
