Seems like they could only restrict how many concurrent streams they allow for an account.


Like most other major streaming services? Depending on how this works out for Netflix, it will determine if the other major streamers do the same.

Seems like desperation.

They invested way too much into original shows, most of which aren't very good.

Almost every other streaming service is a cheaper alternative to Netflix.

It was formerly known as HBOMax, the streaming service of HBO.

Wouldn't it be great if they lose out because more drop than the $7.99 gain?

What's included with it currently?

And is it over 20.00 per month?

Most HBO and Cinemax programs, TCM and DC, plus a lot of other stuff from different networks.

One gripe I do have is that I can watch content from the Discovery channel that’s already aired, but not show’s like the current season of Naked and Afraid that’s currently airing.

It could happen.

But given that 2 separate households are trying to eek out content from 1 subscription, it is more likely that it won't bite them in the rear (i.e. 2 people want the product but neither will pay for it?)

I hate it for my two kids in college. They had been using the family account.

Going to be tough to ask a girl over to “radio and chill.”

My wife just logged in (the family always finds something to watch) and she was prompted to confirm this is our home address.

Same thing here earlier today but I think Netflix was the last streaming service we weren’t actually paying for. Now it’s $15 a month, I think password sharing is on its way out when it comes to streaming. Cut the cord and a year later we’re probably paying as much for streaming services as DirecTV was getting monthly but it’s still cheaper than DirecTV plus a few streaming services.

My hope is to pay for 2 streaming services when there is no college football.
Netflix and then rotate Max and Paramount.
(Disney, Hulu. And ESPN+ are part of my Verizon plan)
There is a ton of free stuff on roku.
