Reading Negatives About Netflix...?
Comments (11)Most of the negative news about Netflix has been related to their apparent lack of understanding of their customer base. Which customers need physical media and which customers have the connection speed required for streaming - especially at HD levels - and then how it fits into their business model. Yep, they really screwed up and lost a lot of confidence on the business and investor level. The availability window for releases is between the studios and content providers - and it's getting ugly. Used to be the order was: theatrical release, airline inflight entertainment, hotel in-room movies, home video (DVD-VHS), PPV cable, and finally broadcast television. So, this is where it gets bad for Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, and others - how much are they willing to pay to get content sooner? That's the business side of the problem. The delivery side is, if you connection can accommodate streaming, is at what speed? Which also dictates the resolution and the MPEG compression level. I work on designing this technology and equipment for a living, but there is no "one size fits all" solution. Both physical media and streaming media will be around for a long time. There currently is not enough bandwidth available to stream all this information....See Moredo you use Netflix streaming video?
Comments (22)I would also say check your cable provider. We got a new box with much faster download speeds. Previously, we could not have the laptops running if someone was watching streaming Netflix, but now we have enough bandwidth to run everything. We have Amazon Prime now, but we dropped Netflix streaming awhile ago because a lot of the series we wanted to watch were not available. No HBO programming is available streaming. SInce we got Prime, we suspended the Netflix. DH has had the account forever and just deactivates and reactivates it when he wants to....See MoreNetflix's new membership rules
Comments (18)I was pretty peeved to have the service I get (3 cd's plus streaming) increase in price by 20% in one fell swoop. This was after an increase once already this year. I understand that Netflix has to raise revenue in order to maintain profit while building their streaming library and that it is their intention to steer the business toward electronic delivery, which has lower and much more forecastable costs. They are alienating a lot of customers with this move, but it is calculated - they are doing it because they can and they can because there's really not another true competitor. This move will be discusses in MBS classes for years to come. We have not decided what to do, we have discussed several options, including cancellation and going ahead a paying the $24/mo....See Morenetflix suggestions
Comments (83)After watching Justified (I am nearly finished) I am on to Deadwood. I never thought I would like it but it is a period show and has Timothy Olyphant playing a similar character as he does in Justified. I adore his character on Justified... plus just looking at him! lol So, I think I will really like Deadwood. Will keep you posted!!...See More- 5 years ago
