That says to me that the price of the subscription is definitely not the issue. Thanks, Nialli.

There are, of course, considerably more potential customers in the US.

Some of the big US ISP's throttle Netflix these days. The excuse is, as mentioned in the article, that it takes up so much bandwidth but i'd be surprised if dirty tactics doesn't play a large part of it as the same ISP's are also cable TV providers.

Compare Netflix's 2 million subscriber reach with a pay tv channel like Fox which is available on every UK platform , so that's over 10 million Sky subscribers nearly 4 million VM subscribers and both BT and Talk Talk near the million mark each. |

Netflix will continue with its original productions were it can show them in all its markets , paying silly amounts for the first run movie rights in the UK just doesn't stack up until it's user base grows considerably larger here in my opinion.

I agree with your basic premise, MM, that Netflix's income is not enough to cover the expense of first run material, but this is exactly what attracts new custom. If it wants to grow big quickly, this is the way to do it. I think their pockets are large enough to withstand it. |

"Sky's deals with the major Hollywood studios – Disney, Warner Bros, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures and Universal Studios – come up for renewal in 2017 and 2018." "Analysts at IHS put the total value of Sky's movie deals at between £300m and £350m a year." Imagine how much Netflix would need to bid in 4 years time to try and wrestle those rights away. It's going to be real expensive. SKY are paying out almost £30m a month on movie rights to the studios. |

If Netflix only nabbed the Disney rights, I imagine Netflix would become a very viable option for parents of small children who can't afford Sky movies or those who only have Sky Movies for the benefit of the children. From the figures I have seen on here, Netflix appear to have the money currently to afford a loss on Netflix UK (if they could bid for movie rights currently) whilst building their movie portfolio and customer base over here, just imagine what financial clout they may be able wield in 3-4 years. |

It sounds to me as if you want Netflix to be what you want it to be --- a cheaper version of Sky Movies, rather than what Netflix has proved to be successful ---- a cheap price with loads of DVD boxsets, a few recent films and a lot of oldish, and not so well known films and recently, original content. Netflix and Sky movies serve different distinct needs. |

Just say the Amazon rebrand on their website.
As a prime member, this is really good news for me |
re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Maybe Amazon on Demand will arrive on TIVO, and will sit nicely next to Netflix. Hope so.
