Your replacing of reality with 'would be nice to have fantasy' never seems to end.
But this is, as the title suggests, a general discussion thread. I'm not predicting or asserting anything here, I am suggesting possibilities. You don't need to be rude or upset just because you disagree with what I've said. I remember getting shouted down a few years ago when I suggested that linear channels would ultimately be replaced by on demand, but that doesn't sound quite so far fetched now, does it?

re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Netflix have these rights in the US; looks like Amazon have nabbed them for the UK:

The newly merged Amazon Prime and Lovefilm have signed a deal with Warner Bros International Television Distribution for the streaming rights to some of its biggest hits, such as Arrow, The Following and Revolution.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
People have been saying that using Unblockus lets you have much more content from the US etc, can anyone tell me what that "better" content actually is? Just a few series etc would do, thanks.

Netflix UK compared with US.

Other regions also have different titles.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I have never done this streaming thing before so my question is is it worth me getting Amazon Prime for £49 a year if i mainly watch the latest movies and i want to stream to the Xbox etc, or will Netflix offer me more?
