Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I know some here use NBC Sports for viewing Premier League games not available on British TV, those that do should be aware that from next season an extra subscription will be required for 130 of the 380 games.
NBC are introducing a new Premier League Pass service for those 130 games.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I saw this luckily my friend in the US has said they'll be subscribing to this new service too.

I await now for someone to call me evil and bad and state i'm going to tvland hell for accessing content not in the uk.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I shall be joining you in the burning fires of hell too.
Like you I am lucky enough to have my friend in the US tell me they will sub to the new service for me (and it just goes to show that if you treat people well they reciprocate your kindness as my friend has refused my offer to wire the $50 to them!)

Before I am condemned to hell with any asinine quotes about the misuse of computers act I would point out that despite the fact that I could use my US login for free access to most sports and TV content I do actually pay for both and only use the service for those things not available on British TV.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I think you did too.

I think its fair to say my friend belongs to the liberal wing of American society,
she has become very paranoid since Trump's election so I gave her my login to a small, obscure, off the radar VPN service I have access to,
she's happy as Larry with this arrangement and I'll leave it to others to determine which of us got the better deal :)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Time to look at what Amazon has to offer!

Have you tried Now TV?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I had Amazon for a month OB, watched a few things, but I find that Netflix has more to offer that suits our tastes, but as I said we have watched everything that we liked, as for Now TV, not sure if I could go back to watching stuff in SD, or has that changed, do they have HD broadcasts?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Now TV is 720p, which is actually HD quality.

Good pictures on my 48" screen. Why not try it for a month? Only £6.99 for the Entertainment Pack.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

New customers can get either the entertainment, movies or kids packs for £1 for the first month.

Imho its well worth trying at that price, as you can cancel without penalty and continue to use it for the rest of the month

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That's ridiculous in my honest opinion it's now dearer than both Neftflix HD and Amazon Prime which both offer vastly superior picture and audio quality.

I've said many times that Now TV isn't particularly bad picture quality but at those prices now they should at least be streaming 1080p with 5.1 audio.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

To be fair Now TV also includes live channels, Netflix doesn't. They're not really like for like services.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Agreed but on the Entertainment side how many actually use the live channels when the bulk of the content is available On Demand.

Personally I don't understand what the point of them is with the exception of Sport and News.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I wonder if this is because of SYFY and one other channel launching on nowtv next year?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

A handy little tip for Now TV users who are billed monthly.

I had a Cinema Pass bought cheap which expired and I hadn't noticed and was billed a month at £9.99.

I cancelled online and after a few 'are you sure screens' was offered the Cinema Pass at £3.99 for the next 4 months.

Worth a try for anyone thinking of leaving for cost.

I don't know if the pass is for 1 month or for 3 months. Hopefully it'll work for someone else.

Good grief OB its a bit like you heralding the return of your victorious forces from the battlefield when it is nothing of the sort...:D

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

My thinking is that sport would be cheaper on Netflix than it is on BT or Sky. There are far more good dramas on Netflix than we have on the general entertainment Sky channels and at a fraction of the cost. I believe they will do the same for sport and the more up to date films (when they acquire the studio rights from Sky) in time.

It's amazing how we have got so used to paying out a small fortune for sport that many cannot see a way out. Have faith, old chap!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I sometimes doubt you actually read what you've put before hitting the post reply button , so Netflix is going to take all the top Sport all the top dramas and all the first run movie rights. I can't wait to see the price of that.

Isn't half the reason people subscribe to Netlfix because of its low cost ?

Let's not forget all this content costs.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...LION-debt.html

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

If Netflix go into live sports trust me the costs will spiral, for a start Netflix would have to shell out on equipment, then they'd have to create a completely new interface and this is just for starters.
Then you'll have the bidding wars that Netflix would have to contend with.
I'm not saying it won't happen but if it does expect to pay a lot more than you think you will.
NBC are a perfect example of this they have their NBCsports channel but have now put a lot of matches on their new NBC Sports gold channel which unsurprisingly costs extra ontop of the standard subscription.
Movies i certainly agree with you regarding those i do think Netflix will bid for newer movies once studio deals are up for renewal, they are already doing this now with new movies such as brotherhood being available on Netflix first so i wouldn't be too quick to dismiss that idea.
But live sport yes it may happen but at quite a cost one feels.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Well, clearly, we would have to pay more to Netflix if they acquired that (as separate packages, of course) but my view is that it would be rather less than Sky charge. That's why my comparison was between the drama selection (non premium Sky channels).

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

But as you've been told multiple times you aren't comparing as Sky offers far more than it's own entertainment content , in fact it could be argued the amount of content on offer from the likes of Sky and VM dwarfs that of Netlflix whether you watch it all now that's another thing.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Netflix are prepared to sustain big losses before income generation starts offsetting those costs. I know that Netflix fees would have to go up to pay for this, but they would be separate packages, and less than Sky charge, in my view. The lower comparitive cost and further global reach should enable far more subscribers than Sky get, which would help pay for it.

---------- Post added at 13:20 ---------- Previous post was at 13:13 ----------

Are you talking about content or channels? Sky may offer many channels, that is undisputed, but I don't watch much of the fayre on offer - my recordings are proof of that. There is an incredible amount of rubbish on Sky, and it is only a matter of time now before I stop subscribing to their non premium channels. I'm paying far too much for very little. Unless, of course, Sky is spurred on to do better as a result of the competition, which is always a possibility, I suppose.

However, as for Netflix, I can't see myself getting through even half of their dramas, there is so much on there at a cost that is very competitive indeed.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Ifs , buts and maybes as usual OB.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yet again you don't seem capable to realise that Sky and Virgin offer far more than just the Sky channels as I say there is far more content. If you don't watch content on the pay channels I'd seriously be asking yourself why you have Virgin TV.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Netflix already have a huge debt on them over $10billion i can't see them risking going much further into debt to start bidding for live sports, if they go to far into debt then the reality is Netflix will go bang and that is a risk they will not take.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Someone like you who knows what they are doing will be fine, but there are many IT illiterate gullible souls who can find themselves in all sorts or trouble not only from the powers that be but from their fully loaded box, downloaded build or wizard.
I've posted elsewhere on these forums the dangers of these so wont repeat myself except to say there are many people that have fallen for the Kodi=free TV BS and have now potentially opened up their personal accounts, home networks and any devices attached to it to a potential world of pain.

To give a couple of examples of my points,
an old friend posted up on Facebook that they were going to buy a "Kodi box", this is a grammar school and university educated man who at the time was quite high up in the training department for a major high street bank.
I was a lone voice telling him not to buy it and all the dangers associated with it, he didn't even know all the sources were illegal, but as I was drowned out by a hundred other voices telling him to buy it and Kodi is the best thing since sliced bread he went ahead and bought it.
A couple of months later he's posting that Kodi is a load of rubbish and his cards have been scammed!

My second example is of an online protocol that predates the world wide web,
a few years ago there was a website that made using this protocol very easy, they soon gained over half a million members, I knew people who could barely turn on a PC who were members and lo and behold after a couple of years this site was forced to close after legal threats.
For full disclosure I still use this protocol to supplement my media but I know from the experience of trying to explain it to people it is beyond your average Joe to use and sufficiently under the radar again so that its only hassle is (easily circumvented) DMCA takedowns.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Er, I think I know what I am paying for, old chap, and as I have already pointed out, my recordings are proof of the pudding.

There are fewer and fewer recordings of Sky and other pay channels as time goes on as quality and choice go down the pan, most recordings now tend to be from the terrestrials and a huge chunk of my viewing comes from Netflix and Amazon. I have caught up with many of the shows I missed on Sky Atlantic through Now TV.

And to answer your question, if things get much worse, I will indeed pull the plug on these pay channels. I may go for a Freeview Recorder and get the rest of my viewing from streaming services for less than £35 per month.

Sky, demonstrably, is having increasing difficulty preventing their subscribers from leaving, which is why they are going to such lengths to retain them. The diminishing amount of decent choice and increasing prices is causing this.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

BIB absolutely agree so many people jump into these things without having a clue on what they are doing or how to protect themselves.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I prefer to say the packages are bloated but this is the same problem for both Sky and Virgin. In the US more and more packages are popping up (Skinny Bundles) just as Sky has already done with Now TV. I expect this will be the way forward.

The traditional packages are extremely expensive however many still choose them as they offer them a greater mix of content for example Sports , Sports News , Wider range of Documentaries etc. I can see your point for non Sports fans however I'm different in the sense I probably watch the Sky channels more than any of the other pay ones. Just my personal viewing but I never watch the likes of W , Alibi , Comedy Central , MTV etc.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I've pretty much given up on finding good serious documentaries apart from on Iplayer (one of the few things that make the license fee justifiable for me).
Channels that used to have great documentaries now survive on a diet of faux reality shows.
Even on Netflix most of the documentaries are crapolla and it takes huge effort to sort the wheat from the chaff.

A long time ago when satellite TV was in its infancy some people predicted that TV was rushing headlong into the bottom of the barrel, this is certainly true for the majority of programs passed off as documentaries these days!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

At one time, the omission of the Sky channels would have been a serious omission in the channel line-up.

How things have changed!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

In your opinion , I watch far more shows across Sky Living , Sky One , Sky Atlantic and Sky Arts as we do any other pay TV channel. The Sky channels represent probably the highest viewing figures across pay channels and viewing has been on the up so clearly many don't agree with your opinion.

Don't let facts get in the way of a pay linear TV rant though.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

If you pay for TV Player do you get better quality than SD?
I've only tried it on my Fire TV devices and I don't know if its the app on those devices or being the free tier of their service but the picture quality was severely lacking and not something I'd wish to pay even £4 a month for.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I've found the picture quality to be on par with Freeview. Not spectacular but not terrible... in my experience. It's acceptable. The catch up content is of better quality, which is how I'd watch most programming.

I suppose the size of your TV plays a part. I've used the service on a 27 inch Smart TV in my bedroom.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Seriously, this is disappointing. After all that was said by Malone regarding his attitude to content, with the emphasis on acquiring it rather than owning it, and now we learn that it was Liberty Global's decision not to proceed with the Amazon deal.

For me, this is a very serious problem, and if there is not a reversal of this decision, it will impact on my plans to stick with VM. I really want VM to be a magnet for content, but this revelation makes me wonder where the hell they stand.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/...-growth-cools/

Pay-TV’s push back against streaming is building, however. Two industry sources revealed that last year Virgin Media was close to a deal to add Amazon’s streaming service to its subscription packages, before its parent company Liberty Global stepped in to pull the plug. It is understood the pan-European cable giant held fears about the long-term threat Amazon could pose to its pay-TV business.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

But is this not the great wise old sage who is only interested in subscribing to individual streaming services so he says as he believes that to be the only future ahead of us because he believes Pay-TV as we know it is dead in the water?.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I think you have interpreted me incorrectly there, Den.

Realising that our conventional broadcast channels will not survive in the long term, I have been banking on VM giving us as many channels and OTT streaming services as possible on their set top box. A kind of combination of the traditional cable pay tv channels that will be required in the interim, and a Roku style streaming channel selection sporting all the options available in the UK.

That is my vision, and it would be good from the point of view of my own system of viewing, if I could bookmark shows from all the major streaming services and have them showing on 'My Shows', thereby keeping track of where I am with all the series that I am following.

My needs are simple, but it seems that there are no content providers willing to give me what I want for the time being. I'm beginning to understand why so many VM employees are disillusioned with their parent company, Liberty Global, because VM seemed to interpret Malone's thinking accurately. If this is an example of their decision making, I'm completely underwhelmed.

I hope desperately that they have a re-think on this. What a miserable day this has turned out to be.

However, Den, this does not change anything as far as subscriptions to streaming services is concerned, so don't get the wrong idea of what I am saying here.

I want to watch some Channel 4 programmes that are over a week old, so aren't available on the V6.

Fired up my Samsung TV All 4 app for the first time in months to find it stuck on loading.

An internet search said that this was a known problem after an update to the app and the cure was to reset the Smart Hub.

I did this hours ago and, ever since, whenever I try to access the All 4 app I get the following message:

"Smart Hub is being updated. Please try again later".

Does anyone know how to fix this? If not I'll have to have my first go at casting from my tablet.

Cheers.
