Comments on: Redbox Launches Instant Streaming Service to Compete with Netflix https://filmjunk.com/2013/02/13/redbox-launches-instant-streaming-service-to-compete-with-netflix/ The World's Longest-Running Movie Podcast Fri, 24 Sep 2021 00:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.33 By: Elnator https://filmjunk.com/2013/02/13/redbox-launches-instant-streaming-service-to-compete-with-netflix/comment-page-1/#comment-6586451 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:27:38 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=90245#comment-6586451 The XBOX streaming app is buggy as all. I was totally unable to stream anything on it so far since joining the trial (basically rendering the trial worthless). In addition to THAT fiasco their Android App will flat out not allow you to watch videos on a rooted device which is a total ripoff. Many folks run rooted devices on slightly older devices so that they can run the latest OS (Jellybean here) and apps that punish rooted users aren’t any more secure they’re just telling the *very tech savvy* crowd that ‘hey we don’t want your business”… reaction: Fine… I’ll find another way to get videos on my android…

As to the content it’s pathetic. There are Very few titles available under the ‘subscription service’ worth watching… ALL of which are already available on Netflix… what’s worse is a lot of their “Rent/Buy” options are ALSO available on Netflix.

It’s got potential but they need to do the following:
1) Stop trying to punish rooted android users. People root for a reason and it has zero/zip/nada to do with pirating videos. If we wanted pirated videos we wouldn’t be loading the app in the first place.

2) Fix the XBOX app because right now it’s useless

3) Lower the cost of streaming content.
3a) Make more stuff available as part of the sub
3b) Lower the cost to rent a movie for 24hrs. It’s ludicrous that you want me to pay $4 extra to stream a video I could go get from the kiosk 1 block away for a buck.

But I like that there is competition for Netflix I guess.

I don’t know if the selection will be on par with Netflix. I hope you can pay for one month subscription at the Kiosk. That would make more me likely to use it. Just gets past some sort of irrational mental hurdles I have. I love Netflix streaming. Want to get it again when things settle down with me. Good stuff!
