Ever since Netflix announced its price hike, it has seen a steady customer outflow. Per a quick reference check on the internet, Netflix has 26 million subscribers. There is a possibility that a high percentage of these customers are already DISH Network subscribers, because so far the two companies have provided services that complement each other.
The majority of people subscribing to DISH Network are probably Netflix subscribers as well. People in remote areas often subscribe to both satellite TV and movie rental services, as their entertainment options are limited in terms of movie theaters, libraries and local events.
I know many of my friends, specially the ones with kids, swear by Netflix. For people who are too much in to movies or people with Kids generally prefer movie rental service. if you do, give the new entrant a chance and let it enter your living room.
Interesting perspective. As a new Netflix user I can say that it is more cost effective for us than Redbox, at only $7.99 per month. I like the convenience too, those epeople lined up at the Redbox look so depressed
Its amazing that none of my friends with kids are against Netflix! haha nice one, people on Redbox lines look depressed ? I go at midnight or early morning to pickup and usually return with a smile ?
We put our Netflix account on hold but will probably cancel. Their movie lists in my opinion are horrible. Hardly any new movies or TV shows being added, while Blockbuster has a better selection. Where I live we have 1 blockbuster left, but eventually they will go out of business so streaming online will be the only way to go. If we watch movies now, its only from Blockbuster.. driving to a Redbox and waiting in line is not my kind of thing.
If you tell your cable company you are leaving for another, they usually give you free channels and a nice discount. Did that a few months ago because I really was going to move, but they enticed me to stay ?
Excellent point. I once tried this to reduce credit card APR and increase credit limit. The later was aimed at improving my ratio of available vs obtained credit with an eye to improve score. Good to know that it works for cable companies too.
Right now the family is netflix fans. With one account we can watch on our ipads (which we do alot, especially the daughter), iphones or tv if we wish (which is less and less). Our big thing is trying to pull the plug on cable which Im so close to doing now.
That is what Im trying to find out. Got to have my Charger football. Only other tv I do watch is history, comedy or sci fi channels (sometimes discovery) maybe I can talk the cable company into a custom package ?
