Netflix bringing the big screen into your living room

Video streaming has moved out of the realms of illegal file sharing and into mainstream business as monthly subscription services continue to appear. Netflix has been one of the original players and working to get their software installed as a standard within numerous bits of kit from TVs to set top boxes. The service allows you to browse through various movies and TV series watching at your leisure and in as volumous quantities as your eye balls can consume. There are corresponding smart phone apps to receive the service pulling content into your phone and tablets or indeed accessing direct from your laptop via your browser. The service includes some advanced data analytics that attempt to profile your streaming choices by using your ratings and viewing behaviour to select content you might like. The library of content is vast and Netflix faces the same challenge as other providers in how to simply allow users to gain access to this without becoming lost in the wealth of choice. The list of content is not instant so don't expect to see your favourite blockbuster movie available a week after it closed at your local cinema but Netflix has tried to counter this with some premium TV content to soften the blow. For the money you have to say this us epic and no comparison to the DVD store on your corner charging you £5 for an overnight rental. Streaming certainly the future.
