When watching a series, the next episode auto-starts after one ends. You can navigate back and forth through episodes and seasons without having to exit to the show page.
As soon as Netflix started creating their own original content, that content started winning awards up to and including Emmys.
House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Daredevil, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and more are contributing to an exclusive line-up that is arguably of a higher than average quality than can currently be found on network television.
There are two main monthly subscription fees, based on how many screens you wish to view Netflix content on simultaneously. For £6.99 a month you can view standard definition and HD content on two screens simultaneously, £8.99 a month for four. There is a third entry level option as well that which costs £5.99 for one stream and all videos are limited to standard definition only.
Netflix apps and portals exist for a vast array of devices. It is available on PC and Mac through the browser, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, Wii, Smart TVs and select Blu-ray players from Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic and Philips, Apple TV, Virgin Media TiVo boxes, and media streamers from Roku and Western Digital, plus Android devices, iPad, iPhone, Amazon Fire Phone and Windows Phone devices. Some LG home cinema systems offer it too, as does Amazon Fire TV and certain YouView boxes - namely those from BT and retail Humax boxes - have added it to their connected apps. TalkTalk and Huawei-made boxes will get it early 2015.
It can also be streamed, via a supported device, through Google Chromecast.
The TV series are the main feature of Netflix's catalogue. When it comes to movies, they are sometimes likened to a discount DVD bin. Some gems, but few good and recent movies. This isn't too surprising for a low-cost all-you-can eat service and would only change if Netflix introduces a way to rent individual titles.
There is a feature called Genius included in iTunes that allows the user to select a song and create a playlist based on that song. It will analyze the music library and choose songs similar in tone to the one chosen.
iTunes parental controls can be used to deny access to certain parts of iTunes such as podcasts, internet radio, store, or shared libraries, as well as restricting access to media that has a certain rating or warnings.
A music streaming service called Radio is available in iTunes. It creates stations based on chosen genres, songs, or artists and requires Apple ID for access.
Streaming audio to all Airplay enabled devices within WiFi range is permitted by iTunes. It's also possible to select more than one device to play a song at the same time.
The user can set up iTunes in such a way that media (from CDs) can be automatically imported once a CD is inserted. This also comes with customizable import settings (bitrate, codec). Additionally, iTunes can automatically fetch track names from the Internet.
There is a feature included in iTunes called Smart Playlists that allows the user to create playlists based on criteria such as BPM, Genre, Artist, Album, Plays, Rating, etc.
iTunes has a flat, clean design with playback controls at the top-left, search at top-right and a row of ways to categorize available media beneath that. Plus it can be minimized to take up much less space. The minimized interface is called the MiniPlayer and it can be set to display on top of all other windows. It's possible to show iTunes on top of all other windows when playing movies as well.
Unlike many of the subscription services, Blinkbox offers the very latest movies as they come out on Blu-ray of DVD. And thanks to the Digital HD initiative from Fox Home Entertainment and other studios, you will often find blockbuster content that hasn't even been released on disc yet.
BlinkBox registers your purchased movies with UltraViolet, ensuring your digital content isn't locked in to the service from which you purchase it (i.e. protecting you from potential future issues with that service).
