It seems like the future of streaming content is really up in the air right now. As someone that has been downloading videos for over a decade, I was surprised by the lack of attention HBO got when they aired the upcoming episode of entourage a week early exclusively on HBO Go. It made me create my Go account and I do like the service.
Even with Hulu, onDemand, and Netflix I still find myself downloading files. I hope someday someone gets this right and I can purchase episodes(full seasons) early as well as watch any season from any show. Because I would pay double for that.
- moheeb 15y agoI think the lack of attention comes from a lack of interest. Who really cares when something airs nowadays, especially in the case of streaming content? No offense intended, but I think you may be in the minority.
- untog 15y ago"Who really cares when something airs nowadays, especially in the case of streaming content?" Quite a few people. I think you're confusing what day/time a show is on with the premiere date of a show. People care a lot less about the former, but a lot of people still tune into a show the first time it comes out and talk about it the next day. This is the first time (of a large show) that a premiere occurred online before it was ever seen on TV.
- rickdale 15y agoRight, TV Ratings are based on viewers during episode premiere dates. Not on how many streamed the show. Besides, my point was that I was able to stream the new entourage and I think thats a great idea to get people to sign up for their new service.
