They don't suit your needs of 'up to date content at low prices' so you imagine they will change to satisfy your needs. Just like you imagine Sky will forgo the USP that is HBO shows and Netflix will add more up to date films.

Your replacing of reality with 'would be nice to have fantasy' never seems to end.

But this is, as the title suggests, a general discussion thread. I'm not predicting or asserting anything here, I am suggesting possibilities. You don't need to be rude or upset just because you disagree with what I've said. I remember getting shouted down a few years ago when I suggested that linear channels would ultimately be replaced by on demand, but that doesn't sound quite so far fetched now, does it?

Not seen this posted anywhere else. Not sure if it'll have an impact here.

Netflix have these rights in the US; looks like Amazon have nabbed them for the UK:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

People have been saying that using Unblockus lets you have much more content from the US etc, can anyone tell me what that "better" content actually is? Just a few series etc would do, thanks.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I have never done this streaming thing before so my question is is it worth me getting Amazon Prime for £49 a year if i mainly watch the latest movies and i want to stream to the Xbox etc, or will Netflix offer me more?
