Can't wait to pay even more for my cell bill because they give me "free" Netflix!
I hope that this means that the Netflix app on AppleTV will finally become a “first class citizen.” The Netflix app has always been treated badly by Apple. No idea why, but it means that I can’t have Netflix content in the “What’s Next” queue (among other things, like Netflix actors’ work not showing up in show information).

The volume on 4K Blu-Rays is often low, prices are high, and Netflix isn't doing much to support physical media. When you're just unwinding in front of a 65-inch screen, you might not notice the quality loss from compression.

this has little to do with the resolution, though. maybe 4k just gets the benefit of being compressed with better codecs.
for me at least, watching shows/movies at typical viewing distance, a well-encoded 4k->1080p mkv is only very slightly less sharp and is vastly smaller to store on the media server.
Buy those blu-rays while you still can (:

I wonder if an antitrust suit will be filed, this seems like a pretty significant acquisition.
Interesting, that will bring a big production house capabilities within Netflix itself
