Netflix hints at premium streaming channel
Many Netflix subscribers already enjoy online streaming access to some 12,000 movies and TV shows, but they may also eventually be able to stream premium movies and original series' from cable channels like HBO. The company revealed that it's at least entertaining such an idea through a question on a recent consumer survey, though customers would have to pay another $10 per month to get access to the premium content.
The survey was sent to a handful of Netflix customers, and it asked whether they would be interested in such a service (a screenshot is available at Hacking Netflix). Specifically, the page says that customers would pay an additional $9.99 on top of their normal Netflix subscriptions and that they could watch the premium content on their computers and on a number of other Netflix-capable devices, like the Roku, Xbox 360, and TiVo. The number of DVDs available as part of the subscription would not change, and customers would still have access to all the currently-available content online.
