What because certain people who don't like him say so?.

Hardly surprising given the promotion it's had (even by the BBC).
Here's a list of all the other Amazon exclusives that I'm aware of...

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
So I signed up for netflix for first time ever, reading here made me straight reach for my iPad and stream to Apple TV but seeing I only had 15% and couldn't recall if Apple TV had native Netflix I thought I might as well try to do this through TiVo
And wow was I surprised, it was quick and responsive and the whole user experience was lightening fast. I was expecting to have the same sluggishness user experience that you get with sky movies which I gets round by reviewing sky movies on the iPad app and then type the movie into TiVo app rather than going through the menu navigation but this was miles different and faster
Pity that the first thing I watch was for the Mrs; Gilmor girls, but can't fault VM for that

In my experience Netflix on the normal TiVo is a big pile of poo compared to running it on the Xbox One, PS4 or Amazon Fire Stick as it is far faster.

Well I only done it once, but am happy to give it another go rather than go to Apple TV as default

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Just tried it on mine in case the new firmware had sped it up but it still took about a minute to load. Takes about 3 seconds on the Fire TV as comparison.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Thanks for the comparison, in fairness I hadn't tried it on other platform other than iPad my only rule of thumb was sky movies on TiVo

He is a nasty little bully I agree.
The other one is called James May AFAIK.
Does anyone know how to get a months Now TV Entertainment & Movies for £1?
https://www.nectar.com/collecting-points/brands/nowtv
Nectar referred me to Now TV; Now TV referred me back to Nectar.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I know you have to sign in to the Nectar site before clicking on any of the offers but not sure about the £1.
