It's cheaper according to one.
Also worth bearing in mind if you have TV from 1 source it goes up £3 to 5 - if you have from 10 sources they are all likely to go up £1 or 2, thus costing you a lot more every year!

The all knowing BBC, who can see the future after all, describing the ongoing challenges for established streamers to deliver value.
I quite like this quote about the forthcoming Utopia:
"This is, of course, great for audiences. Possibly.”

That's not to mention all the original series that are on there. And with two or three new programmes of worth coming out every week, this service really is second to none, and head and shoulders above Prime.
If the BBC really think they will overtake Netflix in this game, they are deluded, much as I think they will have a decent offering on iPlayer and Britbox.

Only for now. It will eventually go the way of Blockbuster.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Going forward with what OB said yes its down to personal taste but i have to agree with the view netflix is better. Straight away the ability to see everything you are subscribed to is far superior and with the various sections for different type of shows. Prime is a mess. I get told by people "have you watched that show yet..." hadn't even seen it as an option after weeks of scrolling through stuff. Every other row wanting me to buy things! I see something and go "ooh i like that" and guess what? Its not on prime its available to buy.
I get amazons approach but i'd rather just see things i've subscribed to and if i really want to watch something else...i'll find a way to buy it

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Prime is hopelessly compromised by its need to provide rentals and free/inclusive material in the same place. Possibly you lot don’t notice this on your fast fibre internets but Netflix also beats Prime hands down when it comes to managing low or variable bandwidth. Netflix is highly responsive and almost bomb proof at times when Prime will just stop working altogether for five minutes (in our house anyway, where I can stream at 4Mb only when I’m home alone).
On the plus side, Prime doesn’t charge extra for UHD.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I'm sure someone on here said third party content isn't important to Netflix , yet here they are paying huge amounts for Seinfeld.

Clearly as Netflix itself has said, Friends and The Office were very popular shows on the streamer, so why don't they try and replicate this with their own comedies? They have some, but not many. I don't understand why Netflix forks out billions to make its own dramas whereas comedies filmed mainly in tv studios could be made cheaply and by the dozen.
Does this mean that Sony's crackle is being wound down, otherwise why sell the show to a competitor platform?

Established series have brand awareness that's not possible developing their own originals. Even "hits" like House of Cards nobody is going to go back and watch again.
Ironically, brand awareness is found on large mainstream platforms, not niche platforms with a few hundred thousand homes. Which means the soon to be fragmented world of streaming will struggle to achieve it.
