The real question in my mind is "what is Netflix bringing to the table?" I mean, there's no reason Starz can't set up its own download channel right next to Netflix and Amazon on my Roku, is there? Why should they give Netflix a cut?
- parfe 15y ago>what is Netflix bringing to the table? My credit card. I'm not going to sign up for 5 different sites for content as each network puts up its own little fiefdom.
- tsotha 15y agoFor Roku, at least, I think the way it works is you give your credit card once and then you select channels through Roku. So in this case it's not any less convenient. It made sense to go with Netflix when nobody else really had a streaming implementation, and Netflix had its own advertising the content providers could piggyback off of. But these days more and more people are getting content through third party boxes that already act as payment processors.
