Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

I think it is a good price - especially as you don't have the guy two rows back constantly talking - or the girl two rows down crunching her snacks - or the oldies who keep rattling the seats as they can't get comfy.

Steady.....:D

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I've not seen anywhere reliable say it will "not affect the picture quality". They say "Netflix has announced it will reduce the video quality ... while ensuring a good quality service"

"Netflix expects some customers may see a reduction in picture quality, while many will not. The small number getting its most expensive package with Ultra High Definition (4K), priced at £11.99 a month, will be the most likely to notice the difference. The vast majority of customers pay £8.99 a month for Netflix’s standard package, which comes with high definition quality."

So the more you pay - the more the picture quality will be affected.

Re: Netflix. If a 25% reduction is said not to affect the picture quality, it begs the question as to why they use this amount of bandwidth anyway??

But how much do you pay for popcorn, drrink, etc, and do you really go to the cinema on your own?

As I said, it’s that price through the day, when my wife is working (I’m retired) - I don’t buy food/drink at the cinema, as it’s horrendously over-priced (£2.95 for a bag of Revels, vs £1 from Morrison’s).

I probably misheard what it said on the news. I imagine a lot will be downgrading then.

No doubt that will happen across the board in other European countries.

Yeah, they are working on reducing their planned bandwidth usage by 25% so i imagine there will be a delayed and phased rollout of the service.

Yes, that was announced 2-3 weeks ago, following a new deal between Disney and Sky.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Not sure exactly when it happened but Hayu has been removed from the Search & Discover menu.

The app is currently still available in Apps & Games.

Despite the app being available for ages, Prime Video still hasn't been added to the Search & Discover menu.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 20:58.
