Starz To Pull Content From Netflix

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-movies-for-you dept.

tekgoblin writes "Starz plans to remove all of its movies and TV shows from the Netflix streaming library after negotiations failed. Starz, which is owned by John Malone's Liberty Media, said they have ended talks with Netflix to renew a deal that ends February 28th. Netflix stands to lose a large amount of content, as Starz has licenses for first run Sony and Walt Disney movies."

    According to the Netflix FAQ, no Roku device supports streaming subtitles.

    I'd link to the FAQ, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do that, so instead, here's the list of devices that support subtitles:

    * PC/Mac
    * PS3
    * Wii
    * Google TV Devices such as Logitech Revue and Sony Internet TV
    * Boxee Box by D-Link
    * iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

    Note that on the PS3 at least, you have to turn on subtitles before starting to stream, and if subtitles aren't available, the option is just missing entirely.
