I don't think the studios have it them, Netflix is here for the long haul and is far too ahead of the competition now, US studios are still stuck in a old world of thinking which is very US focused. None of them will be willing to roll out a world wide streaming service, and if one of them did what would they show, just movies and TV shows from their own catalogue? Not only can Netflix cut deals with all the studios they can also commission top quality drama of their own.

I don't think this is a true at all, all the shows I want to watch are available on one of the three services that I sub to all at less cost then the XL pack. No multi room cost and I can watch on what device I want where I want over whatever connection happens to be available. Why tie myself to a box that is connected to my living room TV only? The only reason I have a Tivo is VM didn't want to take it back. They only use it has gotten in the last year and half is all the referendum stuff and the Euros. Otherwise it is all streaming.

Your right forwarding through the adds consumes very little time, but not having to forward through them wastes even less time and more importantly you don't get brought out of the moment when watching something dramatic.
