Anyone with a smart 4k tv, with the Netflix app can watch 4k content with a Netflix 4k sub.
I got 6 months free 4K content with the tv. That was 6 months ago.

Looks like Pay TV providers will be wanting to deal with their customers directly as opposed to going through the likes of Virgin Media and Sky etc.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
It is limited coverage too - I have a 4k tv but BT will not provide 4k services here because their Infinity service here can not support the required speeds.
So we use VirginMedia to supply the UHD streams for Netflix.

They will need to find a clever way of monetising these services so that the eventual decline of existing subscription packages will not lead to reducing income.
Perhaps Virgin can come up with some streaming packages of its own. Maybe it could also come up with its own streaming stick, extending its TV reach outside of its existing network boundaries.
There is further discussion on the linear channels thread, just to avoid duplication.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Although it's the US Fire TV, not sure if any of you sports fans find this an interesting development?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
All4 has been there for a longtime - Amazon say I downloaded the app to my 2nd generation Fire TV in October 2013.
But is it not available on the Ultra HD model or the original stick I had.

According to AFTVnews, gen 1 boxes are due for an update in January to make them compatible with gen 2 boxes, apps wise. That should fix the situation re All4.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Amazon have added more than 3 million customers to its Prime service in just one week of December. How long this is sustainable, who knows, but broadcast channels must be looking at these figures with nervous eyes:
