I don't "think" that subscribed content will be new, rather that I would require it to be for me to consider this service value for money when I take into account what I already pay for TV. Taken in isolation it's a good product and, I believe, an ideal companion for those who don't have pay TV or have the smaller TV packages without any on demand options. For me, already paying out for xl TV and with subscribed access to on demand programming as well as hundreds of suggested programs on my Tivo I'll need more from netflix than what I've seen so far to convince me to pay another 5.99 per month for TV.
