Netflix is Testing a New 'Ultra' Tier of Service (cnet.com)

Netflix may be introducing a new, higher tier of service. From a report: Known as Ultra, the new tier would allow four devices to receive Ultra HD video and audio streaming simultaneously, according to Italian blog Tutto Android. Netflix currently has three subscription plans: $7.99 Basic, $10.99 Standard and $13.99 Premium. Basic allows users to watch Netflix on one screen at a time; Standard allows viewing on two screens; and Premium allows four screens. Screens can be TVs, laptops, tablets or smartphones. "We continuously test new things at Netflix and these tests typically vary in length of time," Smita Saran, a Netflix spokeswoman, said in an email. "In this case, we are testing slightly different price points and features to better understand how consumers value Netflix."

Your post stinks of old person "back in my day" speeches.

"Back in my day we only had 4 channels, and everything was on those 4 channels, and all we needed was an antenna! We didn't need to pay for cable!"

Suck it the fuck up, different companies charge for their stuff, and your $8/month isn't going to get you everything. Go back to a $100/month cable bill. Or just subscribe to the stuff you want. Do a little work and find which places have what you want. Even paying for multiple services is going to be cheaper than cable.

Pick 1:
-Cheap
-Everything
