    I think what a lot of people forget is that what Streaming did was allow you to watch what you want when you wanted it. No need to TiVO it and worry about space. No need to pay a separate fee for OnDemand. Now I can choose to watch 6 seasons of a show day in and day out at the time I want.

    It was inevitable that they would start to package streaming services together. It’s still better than old school cable. There’s always the High Seas for those that have the technical chops necessary for that.

      Unfortunately, they’re trying to push a variation of on-demand again. Last night my kid saw a movie he wanted to watch”for only $3”. It kept showing him the only choice was to rent it …. Until I pointed him to another service we already subscribe to
