This will be a major challenge going forward. Can they transition from being a nice affordable add on to premium services in their own right?

Three 80lb gorillas have entered the ring now and Netflix for so long the dominant streaming company better have a very good long term plan now the big boys have entered the ring or their days of being numero uno are numbered.

Forbes no less, not a blog or little known digital marketing company.

As I've been banging the drum from some time: streaming isn't exempt from economics. It isn't the game changer that Old Boy etc. are claiming it to be. It slightly reduces the barrier to entry to pay-tv (no need for specialist equipment, lower price for now). However consumers don't have an infinite amount of time to watch TV, nor an infinite supply of money from which to pay for it. There isn't space for everyone to just join in and assume each consumer is going to find an extra £5-10 a month to cover it.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Disney have pulled a blinder Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for $12.99.
If/when BT licence of ESPN in uk ends Disney might do similar here.

Netflix aren't doing themselves any favours either with their price rises taking them close to a basic tv subscription.
As for Amazon their content is a joke at the moment imo and they often cancel stuff, people rave about Good Omens i personally thought it was utter tripe and David Tenant is very overated.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I'm just about to start watching Good Omens, what did you think of 'The Boys'?that was awesome to watch in my opinion and can't wait for the next season, i guess it is down to everyones taste though.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

We have Amazon Prime mainly for the delivery side however I agree there streaming service doesn't seem very compelling in my opinion.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

The boys is superb tbf, but agree totally just because i found good omens poor it doesn't mean you will you might enjoy it.
If we all had the same taste in things it'd be a very boring world lol.

I started to find stuff cheaper elsewhere being a gamer shopto works out better for me cheaper than Amazon and free next dat delivery.
One thing i will say i did love about prime though was sometimes you got same day delivery but i wished they'd give you a hour slot time of when it's arriving lol.

Also ps for anyone interested NOWTV currently have some incredible offers up ideal with Christmas not too far away. Most noteable for me was Sky cinema and entertainment at £56.99 for 6 months. (new customers only. Exsisting or past customers just create a new nowtv account) https://www.nowtv.com/offers

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

What you can do is send it to your post office if the package is small enough to qualify, when i do this i can guarantee that i will get a text saying it is ready for collection at 9am, also on home delivery when they're close you can track the van on the map so you know exactly when it will turn up at your front door.

Traditional TV viewing holds off streaming, Ofcom reveals.

Interestingly, despite the broad depth of content Friends is the most popular show on streaming services in the UK. TV for the (white) brain dead first time round...

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I’m surprised that despite streamers now collectively having almost 50% penetration in UK households, they’re still so far behind in minutes watched. Also, almost all the most popular streaming content is stuff that has been, is currently being, shown on broadcast tv (Friends, Brooklyn-9-9, The Good Place, etc). Even Clarkson is basically just doing Top Gear with a different name.

Streaming providers have obviously still got a very long way to go before they are seen as TV channels in their own right, rather than just glorified catch up services.
