Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Once you've paid for said broadband plus some streamers - factoring in the price rises to make their business models viable - you're suddenly in excess of Virgin/Sky discounted pricing.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
The point is that the cost of decent broadband must be added to the cost of your chosen streamed services

I can't believe I'm being accused of having a lack of vision for a future to which Old Boy doesn't currently subscribe.

I said I envisage that in the future, we would probably end up with packages of streaming services rather than channels on cable tv. Against that comment, your response doesn't appear to make sense. Are you referring to something else? To be perfectly clear, if Virgin offered broadband and a package of streaming services that you could take instead of TV channels, I would take it. I cannot subscribe in this way at present because such a deal is not on offer. As you know, I attach great importance to having all my streaming services on one box. |

Easy. Except it’s not. Streaming doesn’t offer the compelling content that’s the bread and butter of pay-tv in this country. You attach an importance to something unrealisable if you want it all on one box with integrated menus and search functions. Disney don’t want to direct you to Viacom content, or Netflix content, or NBC content. If you think they do then you’ve missed the point altogether. If you are relying on a platform to offer it then it’s no different to Sky or Virgin now. ---------- Post added at 22:08 ---------- Previous post was at 22:07 ---------- Quote:

Yup, spot on, but others still deny this is happening, heads in the sand! |

However to the companies you mention the cost of maintaining linear, considering the prominence it gives them, is virtually zero. |

You say that Disney won't want their subscribers to access other content on the same box, but that is a nonsense argument that is answered just by looking at what is already happening. The route to maximising the chances subscribing to your service is to ensure it is on as many platforms as possible. Look at the Amazon Fire Stick, for example. Search for stuff on there and it also brings up the Netflix offerings. Netflix - their greatest competitor! The presence of streaming services on as many platforms as possible is key to the biggest possible audience with the content you have to offer. Even Apple have come to that conclusion and will roll out their Apple+ service on platforms other than Apple. A good example of what happens to streaming services that cannot find any popular platforms from which to offer their services is Eleven Sports, and look what happened to their plans for the UK. You constantly denigrate just about everything that is posted by me and others, despite the links provided, but you rarely provide any links of your own to back up your contrary arguments. This leads me to the view that you tend to argue for the sake of it. It would be really nice if you could engage sensibly with the arguments put forward, but just basically saying 'No you're wrong because it will be the opposite and I'm right because I've studied economics' just doesn't wash, I'm afraid. ---------- Post added at 08:36 ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 ---------- Quote:
It won't be a case of waiting until the last person stops watching scheduled tv before the system is shut down. It will be shut down when it is no longer worth the while of companies to broadcast their wares in that way. |
