Re: comcast hunt
Comcast should consider using OTT. I am a customer and their On Demand service is nothing to brag about. Yes you can watch lots of movies but many are older movies and you have to wait too long to view the latest movies. I think Netflix provides a better selection of recent movies.
Also, On Demand doesn't allow easy searching capabilities, it takes too long to find a movie. Custeomers should be able to find a movie by title, genre and release year for all premium channels and tv channels. Higher premium channels such as HBO and Showtime has slightly better search features but lower channels like Starz and Encore has worse search features.

Re: comcast hunt
I'm curious to see how the Dreamcast acquisition plays out - since Comcast is only available in certain geographic locations, it seems like they'd have a broader market licensing out their content vs. limiting it to their subscribers.

Re: Xfinity
@faryl So your area has even less choice than mine. We have only two companies to choose from, which keeps prices on the high side.
Re: comcast hunt
Happy May Day!!!
One thing we have to embrace--as i see it--is this notion of Patience. I have had my frustration with the search feature on Amazon FireTV--but it is in retrospective no different that the search capabilities on Google, Bing or for that matter the newest entrant--Jelly. I have not had a chance, for instance, to see whether those who have Google Chromecast have been able to see more robust results in search & how the content providers would somehow work to tie in their services to the search engine.
Just some "food 4 thought" to reflect upon which I hope will be taken under advisement by the TT council.

Re: comcast hunt
Welcome to May!!
They can and will press their content beyond their areas as they can (and I suppose will) use the "on demand" initiative (something we've deliberated here) to push the content side.

Re: comcast hunt
Thank you! ( A bit belated! So... early Welcome to June!)
The EU looking into requiring Netflix, etc. to have a certain percentage of their catalog offered to European subscribers and Netflix getting exclusive rights to Disney's catalog are a couple of other interesting factors playing into the scheme of things.

Re: Xfinity
Prices are really high here too. I'm not sure how/if they drop a bit when bundled in with a TV subscription or other services.

Re: comcast hunt
You Welcome--What I would only note this as we bid farewell to May and embrace June: Netflix has continued to innovate--and will innovate--The newest with Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda and Martin Sheen looks to be really funny.
Wishing all in the US a fab rest of the long weekend as I look forward to continuing this deliberative process--Fun to be witness to history.

Re: comcast hunt
My mom keeps telling me to watch that show; she says it's really funny!
I liked the series "Love" that is Netflix only.
And House of Cards (though I've yet to watch the Britsh version!)

Re: comcast hunt
On this Memorial Day 2016, I have been seeing reports that there has been major outages by Comcast throughout the day (today) which is striking--I am sure as I am making the brief rounds today that all is well. But such does not help reputations--does it?
