Netflix will go the way of betamax in a year.

Screw you comcast! I cancelled my cable tv service with you years ago and only have internet service from you because it's the only fast option around here (1.5mbps ATT dsl is NOT high speed in my opinion!).

 

[upgrade_1977]

of course, that would be to much competition for there xfinity, which I also feel forced into..

Who need Comcast's 'triple play' or Netflix when all that is available via the internet? Waste of money.

Kinda sucks when you enter a profitable market, and then watch as all of the big boys in the other markets also join the fun.

I love Netflix!!! ..and prefer it to stay the way it is. I never watched so much anime in my life! The only thing I wish for Netflix is to add content before it goes on TV.

Don't worry Comcast will raise the cable bill without adding a thing

 

[nebun]

looks like netflix is starting to hurt, lol....they destroyed a good company by raising the prices late last year

What we have been seeing for years now is physical media being used less and less while forms of digital distribution is becoming more profitable and desired. Netflix was a wonderful idea that simply came late and they were intelligent for seeing this and providing streaming services as well. But the chances of them competing with the much larger giants is unlikely.

We live in a time where I can download a entire movie before I could go to the store buy it and come back. Where on our TV's with just a few button presses we are watching the movie or TV show we desire. Companies like Comcast are not going to allow NetFlix to remain a competitor. What you are going to see is Comcast and other providers giving you tons of content for cheap or even free with your current subscription and once NetFlix goes bust they are going to jack up the prices.

Finally a good decision by Comcast. I only pay for Internet from Comcast but I still think its a dumb ideal. I thought the whole ideal of Netflix was to drop cable TV or Satellite? That's what I thought internet streaming media was all about? Now Netflix wants to make a deal with Cable?
Now I know Netflix is desperate.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]I just turned off my cable tv from them but kept the internet since I only watch about 3 shows each week and can download them from torrents the next day in HD so who needs netflix except dummies that have no other choices or lack the know how to download the shows and stream or transfer them.[/citation]

Please don't advocate piracy. Don't be surprised if your comment gets removed.

CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray are digital. Just because something is located on physical storage doesn't mean it's not digital. For example, almost all computer storage is digital and as of this decade, almost all media content is stored digitally.

Xfinity blows. Comcast better get on the ball.

Consumers: "Nope we dont want Comcast"

thieving sh!tty monopolistic f_cks

 

[antilycus]

I am confused. People still watch TV using a cable service? Or any service at all, really? Internet and people kind enough to share their wealth (independants) is all you need.

I haven't missed a single out of market NFL game, since leaving Direct TV because NFL Sunday Ticket (which DirectTV is owned by the NFL) raised their prices to 600 bucks a year.

I want to see 1 freaking out of network team, not 14 others. So why should I be billed for the 14 I don't care about?

Point is, nobody needs a pay for service and since they switched the streams over to digital (and I already own an HD-TV w/ an Analog (read USELESS) signal) I don't even get over the air TV and converter boxes don't come in HIGH DEF, only standard. SO don't bother with that either

physical media being used less and less while forms of digital distribution

-1 for trolling NuclearShadow and -1 for lack of reading comprehension.
