But TV? Well, I think most people inclined to stream aren't so demanding about the quality of a TV show over a movie, and it certainly requires less commitment because TV episodes aren't usually more than an hour long. I daresay many people are sat at their computers desks or laptops/tablets when streaming media, and that can get uncomfortable after awhile. I bet the most popular TV shows are half-hour comedies, too. Quick hits people can get to fill some time online, basically. (From personal experience, I watched a few Robot Chicken's on a whim one evening, as it was available on streaming.)
What do you think? Are you surprised Netflix are having more success with television streaming, or does that concur with your own experience? Do you think things will change once HD-streaming is more common? Or will it change when more people can easily stream media onto their TV sets, and feel they have sufficient home comfort to consider watching a two-hour movie?
Thoughts?
