To be honest, I like the idea of charging extra for even higher resolution. A speed of 15Mbps will be required in order to handle the ultra high definition programming, so keep that in mind. There is a side benefit though, for the family plan allows simultaneous streaming of up to four programs at once… if you have the bandwidth, that is. Regardless, the new pricing structure will only pertain to new subscribers, who will have to sign up for the new “Family plan” at $11.99 a month. But since Netflix chief Reed Hastings has traditionally limited price increases to new memberships, that has enabled most users to gracefully accept any new pricing plans. Had Netflix implemented the price increase across the board, it’s likely they would’ve had an online uprising on their hands.
#Netflix 4k series
House of Cards was the first series that Netflix streamed in 4k earlier this year.
Years ago, when Netflix’s DVD service was still tops, they added a premium for Blu-ray rentals, so this isn’t anything new.
There’s also that existing users who have been enjoying the ultra high definition streams of House of Cards and others before the new pricing will also be grandfathered in, so early adopters, for once, won’t be paying extra for the privilege, instead they’ll continue with the $8.99 a month membership. And that those who are streaming in ultra high def, don’t really mind paying the premium. That could mean that people don’t really notice, since Netflix charges their credit cards or banks directly, or it could mean there really isn’t a lot of hunger for 4K at this point. The funny thing is, that Netflix put the new pricing plan in effect, very quietly, in August, and nobody really paid attention. We have a modest and growing catalog of titles in 4K, including ‘House of Cards,’ ‘Breaking Bad,’ ‘ The Blacklist’ and a slate of upcoming Netflix original series.” “We decided to move 4K UHD video into our four-stream plan for new members who sign up and care about the highest-quality video Netflix offers. That’ll tell the tale of whether there’s a market for it or not. And you know what? Although I’m concerned about ISPs buffering streaming, unless Netflix and others pay more, I’m actually OK with Netflix charging customers for the privilege of 4K. Netflix announced Friday that it will be charging customers an additional $3 for 4K streaming of shows, like House of Cards, reruns of Breaking Bad, and the Blacklist. The beginning of the new era of tiered streaming access. Why has Kovacs been brought back after so long? In order to solve a murder, of course – a mystery that the insanely wealthy victim (who’s now reincarnated in a fresh cloned sleeve, natch) believes only Kovacs’ unique skills can unwrap.Here it is. Into this terrifying new world drops hard-boiled anti-hero Takeshi Kovacs, released from prison and dropped into a snazzy, buffed-up Joel Kinnaman-shaped sleeve after a couple of centuries on ice. That’s because your consciousness, digitally backed up on a device called a “stack”, can be transported between bodies – if, of course, you can afford to pay the exorbitant fee such an operation entails. This glossy, gory cyber-noir takes us 300-odd years into the future, where Earth has become an overpopulated, dirty, decadent mess – but outright death is a rarity. Altered Carbon is set in the kind of neon-soaked cyberpunk hellhole – created via dizzyingly expensive special effects – that positively demands to be delivered in 4K and HDR.
