Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Yup. Look what actually happens in the real world when there is only a fairly modest increase in the amount of streamed TV content (because this is mostly coming from existing users streaming more, not tons of new sign-ups, although doubtless there are plenty of those).

But no worries, I'm sure Old Boy will be along in a minute to assure us that Netflix is stuck in its ways, unwilling to see the trends and really ought to read this digital marketing blog he's just found that says everyone should pile into streaming services right now.

A 25% reduction from 1080 high def is still better than 720p. We have a shonky internet connection that frequently can't do better than to allow a 720p stream anyway, but our Samsung 4k TV does a very good job with upscaling it.
