Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

Agree with mm11 in that it’d be difficult to police, but also Chris that a system that partially solves the issue but not fully is a suitable solution. If 90% of the population believe it works, half of the outstanding find workarounds too complex it leaves just 5% exploiting the system.

There’s been gaping holes in (some) “multiroom” systems for years. At the more complex end not really exploited or understood by the masses. Streaming services have left the door open but it wouldn’t be too hard to identify low hanging fruit within Netflix accounts (a Virgin box at one location and a Sky box in another both with heavy usage). Publicity that this being policed along with gentle emails to suspected offenders, or having devices verify themselves on home wi-fi and suddenly this has gone from the norm to the exception.
