However, this weakness is also their strength because in the end, I think people will be more attracted to a streaming service that is continually adding good quality new stuff to its platform than one relying more on older material with much less new stuff.
 
I, for one, will only subscribe to the Hulu part of Disney if it continually replenishes its extensive library with new programmes. I am not the least bit interested in watching films or old TV series again - once I've seen them, that's it for me.
 
I think that in the medium term, most multiple subscribers will be paying money for Netflix, Amazon and Disney. There is not such an extensive library on StarzPlay so it will be interesting to see how they fare over time.
 
Those who can only afford to subscribe to one service might swap between them or simply choose the cheaper options.
 
However, I think any rumours of Netflix's decline are premature.

			Has anyone had the opportunity of looking at the new All4 site? What's the verdict? 
Haven't seen it yet myself but looking forward to taking a look this evening.
