Jackson West over on NewTeeVee takes Netflix Watch Now for a spin, and comes back with an almost thumbs up. “It feels almost identical to browing the ‘free on-demand’ section on Comcast at my parents’ house,” he says. Sort of what I thought, except Comcast seems to be better. Horror of Horrors!
What I don’t understand is why Comcast doesn’t stream it’s free on-demand content through its Comcast.net portal? I’m sure they will just as soon as they think of it — just shows the disconnect between the TV and Internet arms of the behemoth. Why do companies fight being broken up, when it is clearly for their own good?
