Comcast will let Netflix onto its X1 platform (which is a very big deal):

Not much of a big deal to UK based VM subscribers :confused:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

So, I decided to give Game of Thrones a go, if I bought a Now TV pass, would I be able to watch all the series on there? If not, what streaming service shows all series?

Thanks.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

At the moment only last 3 episodes from most recent season are on nowtv but Game of thrones keeps coming and going.
HBOGO or HBONOW offer all seasons but you'll need a vpn or smart dns such as unblock-us or unotelly and to know someone in USA who has HBO to get HBOGO, HBO Now is $15p/m i think that's about £10 ish.
HBO Nordic is a good option too passing bat knows more about that than me i think so maybe he can help you.

EE customers are to be able to stream BT Sport for free for six months following the purchase of EE by BT:

It says it's for mobiles and tablets only, presumably it will be possible to 'cast' the feed onto the TV??

I'd expect as per previous offers that there is no need to activate the pass on Thursday so you could save it for up to a year for something else that your more interested in ;)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

BT so far are quite generous on what they class as a mobile device and if my experience with BT Lite is anything to go by you would be correct in assuming it can be "cast" to a TV and in very high (HD) quality.
I think on such a public forum it may not be wise for me to post what devices I have it working on with my TV (would be glad to send you a PM if you want to know) for fear of them closing these methods down.

Regarding the free Now TV pass I saw nothing in the T & C's that said you had to use it that day so I'll be claiming mine, if the worst comes to the worst I'll have wasted a few minutes signing up for it.

Thanks for offered to help me, but I get BT Sport anyway as I'm on XL :)

Netflix gains rights to stream the new Star Trek show globally (except USA and Canada) 24 hours after US broadcast. This is a monumental milestone in TV broadcasting.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

....agree.

It's the beginning of the end for big packs of satellite/cable subscription channels.

No longer does a broadcaster need to do multiple deals globally for their shows, they just phone up Netflix or Amazon.

As I've said before, I reckon the main terrestrial broadcasters will probably survive in one form or another into the future, but all the rest will die.

And as a reminder, Netflix now has streaming rights to all Trek shows. My Star Trek DVD sets look very nice on their shelf above my tv, but hell, why bother with all that "hassle" when I can just switch on Netflix!

Netflix price rises prompt subscribers to turn off as their international losses mount....

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I did wonder if the Star Trek deal was announced to hide the poor subscriber figures.

Presumably, they can just outsource international sales with one phone call anyway, so it's more a matter of which brings in the most revenue and exposure.
