Netflix

I've been a member for a while but I have to say I'm really disappointed with their lack of streaming content. I thought it would pick up over time but it seems like the movies and shows that I want to watch never have the streaming function. Frustrating!!

It's worse for families with hearing impaired members. Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act, only a very tiny number of the streaming titles actually support closed captions, and even that tiny number of titles only support closed captions on certain platforms. Four our family, it is effectively as if the streaming feature doesn't exist.

The enforcement of the laws is simply not keeping up with technology.

Supposedly this is a feature that is going to get better, Netflix has made a lot of concessions with the companies in order to obtain more streaming rights going forward. For example not having certain new releases available for rental until 30 days after the release date. The content is already starting to open up for example there are a few Disney movies available for live stream whereas before there were zero.

I agree that the live stream feature needs to improve, the recent trend seems to be that the available content is increasing and with new tv's and blu ray players having the wifi feature built in it would only make sense for Netflix to get on the ball

Or someone. Don't let us forget: Netflix is the best provider of streaming video. No one else even comes close. It's a bit off for us to be complaining about Netflix, in this regard - the real problem is that no one else sees much financial incentive in offering a service as good as Netflix does today.
