Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I wonder if Disney will remove its content from the UK Netflix like they are doing in America next year? That would dent the appeal of Netflix over Amazon, Now tv etc.
As for HBO Now offering stand alone subscriptions, I'm sure that will happen as the media cos launch their own apps with only their own content on them. I've no doubt Disney will survive into the future, but I have doubts on some of the others.
Netflix has been the place to go to as it shows such a wide variety of content, but if media companies only allow content on their own streaming services, I'm not sure if Netflix would survive into the future and almost certain, based on their own made content, that Amazon Prime will not survive.

I think Netflix will be all right. I get it for their original content, of which they already have an extensive library, which is being added to all the time. Amazon needs to commission more good content as well, but it should be OK.
We should also see other providers coming along, and it will be very interesting to see how they fare. No doubt in value for money terms, subscriptions need to be cheaper than the big two if they are offering less content as people will be comparing with them.

For some reason I’m not receiving email updates so have only just seen the replies! Thank you. I’ll try this.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I wish someone would make the other two novels of Philip Pullman's trilogy Dark Materials.
As you may know the Golden Compass was based on the first novel "Northern Lights" and caused outrage in the Catholic church, which led to dumming down of the films content during editing.

One of my favorite writers. I agree, the film was a huge cop-out. The BBC are currently producing these books as a TV series. The first of the series is to be broadcast in 2019, I believe.

I said this to you a while back don't forget Fox and NBC Universal content as well if they decided to remove it from Amazon and Netflix.
Just off the top of my head
NBC Universal
Suits
Mr Robot
Queen of the South
The Purge
The Sinner
Shooter
Good Girls
The Good Place
That's first run imagine how much back catalogue and movies there are.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I agree, tons. I read a article, (I'll try and dig it up if I find it again) that Netflix's own tv shows and films now make up more than 50% of all new content being shown on the streamer. But, they won't have Star Wars, or any other Disney stuff for that matter.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
No mention of HD , I’m pretty sure you can’t get HD content on the ITV Player the only option is through some pay TV providers I know Sky certainly have ITV catchup in HD not sure on other platforms.

Maybe that's one of the improvements envisaged. No details have been given.
