Analyst Speculates Apple Prepping Video Subscription Service to Challenge Netflix

[MattG]

That's good, seeing as how Netflix is completely unusable on Apple TV. I can't watch anything without it pausing to buffer constantly, and the problem seems pretty widespread. Works fine on my iPad from the same Internet connection, as well as from my TiVo. Netflix on Apple TV sucks.

Only question. Why?

Some say Apple need to buy Netflix. Have those of you even considered what Netflix charges for monthly streaming?

$8

Apple will never let customers eat that much for so little. The day Apple buys Netflix, DVDs would stop, and streaming would go up to $30 a month.

Promised.

you are probably right. competition will not matter at that point. and that is a shame.

It's possible. It's also quite possible that NF's offerings will either get very much scaled back or have a big price increase after their current content contracts expire and they have to renegotiate (and end up with terms that are much closer to what Apple and others have as opposed to their current deal which gives them a big advantage).

Apple has the morals of an alley cat.

you see what you want to see. and that aint much.

Since when is "The other Guys" and "Alice in Wonderland" (2010) old? and for people who said it takes a long time to add to the DVD's and change stuff, it takes 5 minutes after we watch a DVD.

wow, they sound like huge hits. what takes 5 minutes?
