Amazon Prime picture is terrible I've tried on numerous devices and all aren't good for tonight's live football.

Strangely enough, the Sony Smart TV Amazon Prime App seemed clearer and very little lag, compared to the V6 Amazon channel red dot one...

Having used Prime for numerous rugby and a couple of football matches over the past month, I would have to agree.
It is nowhere near the expected standard IMO

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Interesting article in the FT on Disney's move to streaming. Points include:
- Disney's TV channels are very profitable ($6bn annual income) but in decline. Disney Plus is growing but is unprofitable.
- The growth of Disney Plus to 70m subscribers has led Disney to invest less in Hulu and not roll it out globally. Indian pay TV business Star is being invested in, though.
- To match its cable profits, ESPN Plus would need to be priced at $40-$45 per month. Its 10m subscribers currently pay an average of $4.54 per month. ESPN traditional cable subscribers saw a decline from 90m in 2016 to 80m in 2020 but rights costs have risen.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
As i reported awhile back Netflix prices in UK are going up, i think this may be a price rise too much for many https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/netfli...s-uk-going-up/
Quote:
The Basic Plan, remains at £5.99/month – Lets you stream content in Standard Definition, on only one device at a time.
The Standard Plan, going up to £9.99/month (From £8.99) – Lets you stream content in High Definition, on up to 2 devices at a time.
The Premium Plan, now £13.99/month (From £11.99) – Lets you stream some content in UltraHD (4K), on up to 4 devices at a time.
In Ireland, the Standard plan will go up to €12.99, and the Premium plan will go up to €17.99.
For new Netflix subscribers, the price increase will come into effect right away (starting December 10), while existing customers will soon get an e-mail informing them of the price increase, which will apply to them 30 days after the notification.
The increase in the UK comes a few weeks after a similar increase in the US, where prices for the Standard and Premium plans have gone up by $1 and $2,

Never thought of it like that. Quite possible.

Interesting consultation.
Streamers won't want to touch unprofitable content. PSBs probably keen to get some prominence as streamers as a result of delivering PSB.

There were some speculation months back they were looking at delivering local news - https://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2...ice-in-offing/
And Sky Arts on Freeview could be interpreted as a way to start inching into the PSB space?

I still think Netflix is decent value, even if it does increase by £1.

Each to their own MM as some might think it represents good value to their household where others might think another streamer might represent better value then Netflix in their household.
