My view is that, aside from the original series carried by Netflix, the site
becomes a convenient portal from those limited, restricted "connected TVs," or
connected TV STBs, to have access to TV programs. And movies, of course. Unless
you connect a PC to the TV, many of the solutions on the market don't give a
lot of options.
Why aren't broadcasters and congloms doing more to reach their audience
directly, over the Internet? Like for example, raising a big stink because
"connected TV" devices are so restricted? Or is there a hidden agenda, like
there was for DTT, where broadcasters and congloms secretly preferred for no
one to have a clue that DTT even existed?
Instead of whining about Netflix, compete against them. As far as my own TV
viewing goes, the congloms beat Netflix hands down.
