It will be good to have a news outlet that does not mention Brexit.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Netflix Hits 158 Million Subscribers & Sees Revenue Growth.
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/netf...er-engagement/
it does however point out “Netflix’s miss on subscribers in the US spells trouble for the company ahead of heightened competition. The fourth quarter represents a completely new ballgame for Netflix as Disney+ and Apple TV+ will compete not just for subscribers, but for hit shows as well. The fact that Netflix has shown disappointing growth without the new competition present, is a negative omen for Netflix in 2020 and beyond.” Said eMarketer’s forecasting analyst Eric Haggstrom.
The report also shows that Netflix is well aware of the competition and has a plan to stay on top. “Many are focused on the ‘streaming wars,’ but we’ve been competing with streamers (Amazon, YouTube, Hulu) as well as linear TV for over a decade. The upcoming arrival of services like Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and Peacock is increased competition, but we are all small compared to linear TV.”

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
The quality of some of Netflix's originals of late have been particularly poor and don't get me started on its efforts in movies.

Absolutely agree with this, but as with any company there will be poor content along with good content.

I always wonder why virgin media dont embrace more apps since its all set up for them.... i'd imagine cost? But surely there are people who can create apps fairly cheaply? Are the apps on the internet completely incompatible with tivo?

It's a lot more than costs, there are platform rights, app development, compatability amongst other things.

Roku seem to be able to manage this without any problem. The app for Apple+ is all ready to go right now. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Virgin to have it up and running.

Better to see how it does in the market rather then Virgin just signing any deal willy nilly.

ROKU is designed for streaming and is classed as a streaming platform, vms tivo is classed as a linear platform.
This is rather interesting though from USA Tivo https://www.slashgear.com/tivo-plus-...mers-15595653/
So never say never regarding vms tivo.
