Thanks to on-demand streaming, gone are the days of waiting weeks for explanations to our favorite TV show cliffhangers. With the advent of the Internet and the instantaneous technology it brought, all it takes is the click of a TV remote to fast forward through lengthy commercials, rent a new Hollywood blockbuster, or watch an entire season of your favorite show in one sitting.
Movie Subscriptions
Before Netflix began its movie subscription service in 1999, film lovers relied on local DVD rental stores like Blockbuster to fuel a weekend of marathon viewing. Most stores carried new movie releases, plus a small section of popular titles from years past. Not only were selections limited, but smaller stores also ran the risk of running out of copies of high-demand releases, resulting in disappointed customers.
With Netflix, consumers can rent DVDs and stream movies from a seemingly unlimited list, with diverse offerings ranging from new comedies to political foreign films. In addition to stocking nearly any title a movie lover could ask for, Netflix also lists full seasons of countless television shows.
Streaming Services
For years, cable TV has forced consumers to wait patiently for new episodes of their favorite shows. Thanks to the Internet, web-based services like Hulu, Roku, and AppleTV provide 24/7 access to top content. For a small fee, you can watch live broadcasts, full TV series, select movies, and more. It’s no wonder that so many are ditching their cable providers in favor of online streaming.
With Netflix, AppleTV, and more as part of your home entertainment system, you can watch top movies and TV at any time.
