I’ll bet there’s a good chance that you are a Netflix subscriber. I’ve been one for years, and really have enjoyed the service. Since the addition of streaming on demand, and a Samsung player that plays Netflix online content, my wife and I have enjoyed many a film and TV show. If you are a Netflix user, you may know that the content is a somewhat limited, and a little dated.
There has been promise of a major deal Netflix has in the works, to expand online content dramatically. Even a promise of getting movies delivered about the same time they’re made available on premium TV channels. Well, not if HBO is going to get its way! HBO has control of a major chunk of film rights, spanning a number of major studios. Instead, they want to restrict delivery to their own portal. Oh great! Another online portal! Don’t we all want our content spread across 40 different web portals?
It’s not that I’m not willing to pay for it either. I believe most out there would gladly pay an additional fee for the added content. But we want it in one convenient place, and to not be required to have half a dozen boxes, and a computer piled around the living room TV. Well guess what HBO, I was a subscriber to your cable service. I just canceled my HBO cable package, and I have no intention of renewing it.
