Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I totally agree Stuart , a while back I was starting to lose interest in Netflix it had a huge library but as a pay TV subscriber I'd seen the bulk of its content and in many cases was on a later series.

I started to use the service more and more when it ramped up it's push into original content , it now offers me great content I can't get elsewhere whilst still having a big back catalogue.

Netflix is made for binge watching, why the confusion?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Ad free subscription YouTube for $2.99 a month, maybe it'll come to the UK??

http://www.rapidtvnews.com/201504103...#axzz3WvJX7RmI

Game of Thrones illegal downloads spike. What else did they expect in the UK after doing a deal with Sky who keep the content from other platforms (even though it's not a series i'm interested in).

The real problem is that Sky don't have back seasons as a permanent fixture. If they did, then people could catch up via Now TV before the new season started.

Quite frankly, Now TV is rubbish compared with the likes of Amazon. The big shows that Amazon buys from the studios, that are released as weekly episodes, also have all previous seasons and current season episodes available. Netflix is the same.

The fact that Sky can't do that with HBO shows, considering the amount that they paid, is tantamount to robbery by HBO or stupidity on behalf of Sky.

Personally, I think that because HBO make it so restrictive to gain access to their shows' back seasons at a reasonable cost, although I don't do it myself, they deserve all the illegal downloads that they get.

And the three month exclusive access to HBO Now via Apple products is pathetic; I'm sure it will lead to even more piracy. Not everyone worships at the alter of Apple! Two egotistical companies having a love-in

I thought that these adblock type services only blocked the adverts that you find on sites such as this one. Will they prevent any adverts from being streamed before/during the YouTube material that you actually want to watch? If so, this would be useful for the ITV Player etc.

Itv player and all4 do not allow you to view content if your adblocker is on.
It works on demand5 and loads of other sites, only sites i have to disable adblock+ for are cbs, itv, all4 it doesn't work on hulu though.
