They are experimenting with $6.99 a month tier for streaming on 1 screen at a time, and a $9.99 tier to stream on 3 screens at a time. Current prices are $7.99 for 2 screens, and $11.99 for 4. The thinking appears to be that most people would opt for the higher tier. Even if they go with this, it may not apply to all customers (only new ones?). I guess this might usher in a new round of Netflix-bashing, but it seems pretty reasonable to me. What makes these streaming services such a good deal for me is that it allows me to share them with my grown children, who then do not get cable in their apartments. We do occasionally run into getting blocked when we are streaming at the same time, but that happens a lot less than it used to. I would have paid $10/month to stream on three screens when they made their last pricing change. Now, with Amazon and Xfinity online, plus HBO and Showtime available online, I may not even need the multiple simultaneous screens, and would certainly at least try out the cheaper tier to see how it worked it if was available to me. LAT reports their stock price, which has increased 400% this year, is unchanged on the news. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
