    Each to their own, but as for TV, it's never uncompressed. Also, you pay for TIVO and it's just another device I don't need to buy, less cables etc. There are plenty of options for watching stuff on the net without paying and it's far more convenient.

    Mind you, that 40 percent figure is based on the REMAINING 10 percent bandwidth leftover after the 90 percent that gets eaten by spam...

    If that includes BS advertisements, then yes, that sounds about right.

    The amount of edgy comments here gave me a good bleeding on the eyes.

    As for Netflix, they push Vision/Atmos for a lot of their shows, and with the right kit they can be spectacular. Amazon is kind of crap, mainly due to how horrible their applications are. In Amazon Prime, UHD and normal quality of the same content, the are two different shows.

    So, you have for example "The Grand Tour" and "The Grand Tour UHD", with the second title never popping up in search results.

    Netflix is first due to the sheer quality of its apps and momentum, at this point. Well deserved too.

    As for the EU, I have no problem with that. Some of the nicest stuff on TV lately is European, it would be nice to get more of that.

    I agree (@PrMinisterGR).
    Netflix is going strong, VOD is here to stay and grow.
    Classic TV is going down, old tech and so on...
    If piracy will drop further, especially in underdeveloped countries the those services will grow even further.

    It seems that everyone wants to have their own streaming service now, so I can actually see piracy increasing.

    I already pay for public TV, Amazon Prime, the UHD package on Netflix and PSN. I will not pay anything more. I'm certain I'm not the only one.

    netflix does not support Atmos. What are you smoking. Dolby Digital 5.1 is all that's available through netflix and that's only the app. If you use a browser it doesn't even support 5.1

    You "agree to many services"? Cool.

    I think however, you meant to say "too many services". Come on man, it's a 3 letter word for cripes sake

    Yes it does.

    It works completely seemlesly with my TV. Whatever has Dolby Vision, has Atmos too. They're quite a few these days.
