I have Netflix for the winter months, MLB AB for the spring and summer months and an antenna for OTA. Other than that, there really is nothing else worth watching. What I want to watch costs me less than $200 a year. Apple has nothing to offer me.
Most of them? By "free", I obviously meant free for Netflix not the customer. What's the point for Netflix to offer their content via Apple subscription for a fee when they have their app on most of the devices already? Some content providers might be interested in this service because they may have a chance to expand their customer base but with most important players (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, Hulu etc.) widely available on all platforms it's hard to see how Apple can create a service that content providers would be interested in (unless Apple offers low fee). Apple just does not have a critical mass here to be able to bully others into accepting their terms (like they do with App Store).What TV sets and DVD players offer free Netflix?
Exactly my thoughts.
As a customer: how would I benefit in getting everything from Apple instead of directly through the apps itself and route it to the TV app?

The TV app is great. Very convenient and intuitive. I strongly prefer the TV app interface over those from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.I am guessing is Apple is expecting people to do everything from inside the TV app i.e., become Input 1 on your TV
I never used the TV app on my apple TV so I don't see any need this crap
Moof. Please, Moof.Yeah, but what will it be called? Apple+? iStream? Ping2? Moof?

**** i dont only despise subscriptions i wont even purchase music or movies through itunes at all because i Far prefer being able to have direct access to my files with no drm in the way such as burning cds to itunesPeople hate subscriptions.
I would think they are betting that one device is preferable over clicking and more clicking.Exactly my thoughts.

People hate unreasonable subscriptions. A calculator app with a monthly subscription? Non-starter. Netflix / Hulu / Apple Music? Yes, I'm happy to pay for those.People hate subscriptions.
Which movie or TV show is this?Whenever that article image is reused, I wonder what those characters are talking about…

It's just might assumption based on two things:It’s your contention that when a tv manufacturer offers Netflix, Netflix doesn’t kick back $$ to the tv manufacturer? What is your source for that?
Unless it's cross platform and works in a standard desktop browser they'll be limiting their customer base and growth.
