That's sort of how I look at it. To me, Netflix (streaming) isn't a replacement for Blockbuster or PPV/VOD like their DVD-by-mail service. It's a cheap replacement for basic cable.
For under $10/mo I get the mostly the same thing as I get from all those USA/TBS/TNT sorts of channels: something to skim through and usually find something to watch with the occasional original show that I specifically seek out. With basic cable, I also can't count on a large selection of recent release movies or being able to find a specific movie/show to watch at any given time. The main difference is that basic cable costs more than the $8 or $9 per month that I pay for Netflix streaming.
