Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

Trust me more will follow suit Sky already have it up and running via nowtv or skygo monthly ticket.
Comcast will make an announcement very soon about their online service.

I understand it's coming to Apple TV shortly. Let's hope it comes to VM as well - sooner rather than later!

What do you think the chances are of Comcast on line coming to our TIVO boxes in the near future if it launches in the UK?

Now password sharing has it's own name 'Cord Cheating'!

Apparently, 20% of us are at it and the industry is aware of it :D

Considering the relatively low cost of these services and the value they give, it is penny pinching and part of the 'let's get it for nothing' culture we live in these days. All it does is reduce the amount of content that could be provided. Services the provide low cost value for money should be supported, not defrauded IMHO.

No chance tbh mate same with slingtv and verizon as they are US services, hbogo i think will come but maybe not for quite awhile.
I wouldn't be surprised to see virgin and bt etc try to get deals in place to launch a online tv service too.

I'm trying the slingtv service at mo it costs $20p/m about £14 so far it's quite good, i agree with you on the password sharing part for how little things such as netflix cost it really is penny pinching.

Two companies, each with their own inflated egos, getting in to bed with each other for three months. I really can't look... anyone have a spare bucket they can pass me...

Vodafone targets November launch for internet pay-TV service

Quote:

The service will be based on software provided by a New York company called Kaltura. Programmes will be stored centrally online, so can be viewed on multiple televisions and mobile devices. Each member of a household can create a personal profile of their favourite channels and shows. The system can also be integrated with Facebook accounts for recommendations from friends.

No; a smart dns service would fix that problem.
