Interesting and big win for Netflix in the UK, and it makes great sense if you’re them. And honestly, if you’re an MSO, it makes sense for them too. Why try to build up a lower quality competitor that probably doesn’t have much value, when you can just charge Netflix a royalty for doing all the hard work anyways? But […]
Read moreSeems like networks are more quick to respond to ratings this season than ever before. Apparantly some shows getting cut in as fast as two episodes. Ouch! I’m on board with most of the new popular ones–Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow. I’ve had Brooklyn Nine Nine on my DVR for weeks, just can’t be bored enough to try to watch it […]

If you’re a yearly CyberLink PowerDVD upgrader, they have just the thing for you – a subscription plan that runs $44.99/year, or 4x $14.99 if you prefer a quarterly payment schedule. For this persistent outlay you get the latest rev of PowerDVD and 10GB of online, er… Cloud, storage which, if you also have a Android or iOS device with […]
Read moreI’m not sure this is very surprising news, but it’s great to see more research firms continue to evolve as these social networks play a bigger part of our lives. I for one just hope Twitter eventually implements the *spoiler* feature we’ve seen recently from others so I can actually use twitter when I’m behind on some shows. Nielsen is […]
