Understand were you are coming from but there are only 24hrs in a day and I do like to sleep ! And I can find more than enough to watch with out spending even more money. Have roughly 14% recordings at any one time. I don't store once seen so can more than fill the time

Netflix to reduce prices in 100 markets (North America and Western Europe are not one of those markets yet) in a bid to combat password sharing https://thestreamable.com/news/why-i...m_medium=email

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
There reason for keeping Discovery+ aswell
Quote:
Zaslav confirmed that the company will keep Discovery+ as a standalone offering.
“For those that have Discovery+ right now, churn is very low and it is profitable,” Zaslav said. “For those that are happy paying $5 or $7… our strategy is no sub left behind. We have profitable subscribers that are very happy with the offering of Discovery+, why would we shut that off?”

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
Thought this bit was interesting from that article:
On. Feb 8, news broke that Warner Bros. Discovery has decided to keep Discovery+ as a standalone streaming offering and to proceed with launching the yet-to-be-named combined product of Discovery+ and HBO Max.
So, contrary to recent reports, there will be a merged HBO Max and Discovery+ streamer, but there will also remain a Discovery+ streamer too.
Anyone confused by that...? (I am)

I think todays story mean.
Discovery+ - £9.99
HBO Max - £9.99
Both of them - £14.99
Sky did that in 1990 when they took over BSB with Sky Movies Plus and The Movie Channel

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
I wonder if they are going to stick the sports on the combined steamer? I thought that was the reason for keeping Discovery+ seperate.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
WBD are also talking about launching a free ad supported streamer, a bit like Pluto.
I thought media consolidation meant there would be fewer streamers, not more!

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
Discovery+ doesn't have sport tier in the US , so easily to keep it going aswell I suppose.
Plans for Discovery+ in Europe, the Middle East and Africa once the new combined service launches are being assessed on a market-by-market basis
