    I remember iPlayer in 2007: it was a mess, using DRM and P2P, requiring a full download before watching it. I wouldn’t call that a streaming service at all. Shows had to be watched within a week of broadcasting.

    I welcome feedback but starting a comment with ‘thats not correct’ and then blatantly being incorrect is just some ol’ bullshit.

    I never mentioned that either of the companies originated the idea of streaming. I only posited that Netflix pushed governments (in this case the Dutch and UK) to move to digital programming.
