Is Netflix really worth for an Indian?Given the high internet cost & poor infrastructure of the ISPs?
NO definitely not worth the price! :-( Please take a look at the following pricing chart --> The basic pricing starts at 500 bucks. The HD plan is approximately $10/month and trust me there is nothing worth paying $10/month for this..Heres whyNOT ALL AMERICAN SERIES/MOVIES ARE AVAILABLE - As you must have seen Netflix in the US, not all series are available. For example House of Cards is not there for streaming. Any series which has a Copyright for United States only will not be available. Trust me all the old ones have Copyright for US onlyNOT MANY DOCUMENTARIES - As for the reason above, you hardly have any documentariesHINDI MOVIES ON NETFLIX ARE PATHETIC - Not a great choice of hindi movies. Most of them are really pathetic new movies. Imagine streaming Hate Story! Yes, you read it right. MOST HINDI SERIES ARE FREE ON YOUTUBE AND HOTSTAR - Well when you can watch series for free on Hotstar / Youtube/ SET etc. why even pay so much. TORRENTS ZINDABAAD - In India everything is available on Torrents. Look at my plight I am planing to pay $10 for NetFlix and yet plan to download House of Cards and watch. POPCORN TIME - Well Pop Corn Time also does the same thing using Torrents. So you can watch loads of stuff there. WHAT MAKES IT WORTHÂ THEN ? In India most users (including me) will cancel subscription after the first month. Or most of them would subscribe using their large list of family members and get One Month Free. Definitely Bandwidth is not an issue for people using ACT Fiber Optics. Some of the shows like Sense 8, Under The Dome, Scream, The Returned are good ones to look out for Lots of Cartoons are available for Kids! My honest suggestion to Netflix - Guys, if you really want to sustain and survive in India, please start streaming other series of the US here. Else Netflix in India would be a big flop!
Do you ever think of getting rid of your TV?
Tv is very bad ( especially the commercials ) it causes your brain to go into a hypnotic stage in just a few minutes. The quick cutaway shots used on shows and really used in commercials effect critical thinking skills. Our minds where designed to accept information then let it absorb and then process that info to make decisions . TV does not allow that to happen due to the constant bombardment of info that never has a break or silent pause between it. Just the way the networks like it. They want you sub servant and not to think critically. Just to accept the info and let it ooze into your subconscious. Someone once asked a CIA agent what's the one thing he would do to keep from being controlled by modern day government. His reply - TURN OF YOUR TV....
How has DVR use changed the way you watch TV?
Yes! I think the DVR is one of the best inventions since TV came out. I LOVE it! Now we can watch our favorite shows without having to rush home from somewhere, or come in when the weather is beautiful outside, and watch it when we want to. I never miss episodes of our favorite shows, and it has increased the quality of our TV time. It used to be nearly impossible, even with 500 channels, to find something decent to watch in the middle of the night if you have insomnia or in the middle of the afternoon if you have a cold, but aren't into soaps or talk shows. Now we watch more of the prime time shows, the unique series on the premium channels like Showtime, HBO, and AMC. We rewatch old series that we enjoyed before, and there is always something good on. I hate watching TV on vacation now, because you are stuck with scheduled programming and limited channels. I also love the pause and rewind feature for watching something funny, rewatching a great line, or being able to answer the phone without losing the storyline. We both love it, and sometimes have two DVRs recording seperate shows, while we watch a third one. (Sunday nights have more good prime time programming than the rest of the nights combined, and we can now see it all!)
