Why is that, theone? Do you have a preferred streaming service that is legal to use and doesn't require a vpn?

I think the Roku has the most channels, but I'm also quite impressed with the Amazon Fire stick.

But hang on MM as according to OB Amazon and Netflix were going to dominate the world as they swallowed everybody else's content up.

Just no interest in another fire tv, quite happy with my android box which gives me everything i need including netflix.
I tend to dip in and out of amazon instant video.
Got a roku too but as i've stated in the past that's set for US channels.

I'm still here, but puzzling about what on Earth I said to give you the impression that Netflix and Amazon would dominate the world!

What I have said is that the broadcast channels would be unable to get anywhere near as much content from US studios and would either have to produce more of their own originals or die.

Fox is doing the sensible thing and putting all its originals on to its own streaming service, as existing contracts permit. That is the way to go, but I also hope that such content is not exclusive forever because that disadvantages the viewer, who cannot be expected to subscribe to the many services that will develop over time.

Yes, the Roku does have rather a lot of US content, but then again it does I think have all the UK streaming services that are available, so I don't see what they can do about that.

Fox owns many broadcast channels across the world , Fox isn't suddenly going to stop providing it's own linear channels content it's merely going to keep at least first run content off the likes of Netflix and Amazon in favour of its own OTT service.

I was referring to our own broadcast channels. Despite the huge amount of money the BBC has had coming in over the years, it has screened a lot of US content. It won't be able to do that in the future.

ITV has been getting better with its original content of late, and this is probably the reason for it.

Bad news for consumers, there are only so many services that they can subscribe to, it would almost be cheaper to subscribe to cable or satellite

Well, I'm currently subscribing to Amazon, Netflix and Now TV, and I am still paying nowhere near what I'm forking out for digital cable channels.

In fact, I could subscribe to another six streaming services charging the same rates as them before I get close to what I'm paying for cable TV!

This is why the pay tv operators need to up their game.
