It doesn't matter to me, it's content I'm looking for and Netflix has it in spades. It has 57% of the streaming market now, up from 52% last year. 10 times more streaming than it's nearest competitor. I use it for a couple hours everyday, I always find something to watch. Network TV, is that even still around? I gave up watching commercials for 20min out of every hour 8 years ago. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2456181,00.asp If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Netflix is 98% of what I watch. I do not miss commercials at all. I don't miss flipping channels at all. I miss "American Restoration" somewhat. The President is a fink. |

Netflix now has 121 shows in 4K plus two fireplace gimmicks. Among the 4K shows are the following Standup Specials
Lucille Ball had her sitcom starting with the episode "Lucy Plays Cleopatra" (September 30, 1963) filmed in color. Color TV was not new as Bonanza (September 12, 1959 )was filmed in color, and Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color premiered on September 24, 1961. But in 1963 it was sort of considered to be a waste of money to film something as ethereal as a sitcom in color. Let me repeat that question. Why do we want to watch stand up specials in 4K (ultra high definition)? Regular high definition not good enough? It makes sense that Thrillers would be filmed in 4K. |
