- I don't think satellite providers actually enjoy people stealing their service.
You're asking why Netflix didn't allow BB to make their app. Would those users then call BB if something is wrong? A bad user experience ultimately reflects poorly on Netflix. So the answer from netflix is to kindly use their service on your iPad or android or PS4 or laptop, etc. Then Netflix can fully stand behind the experience.

How much do you think these companies have been inconvenienced? There is more to it than economics

i am liking the fact that you are playing devils advocate. the idea is to have as much access as one can to so that more and more people can have can enjoy their favorite services regardless of the device they buy.
Blackberry has offered to work for these companies at their own cost. if i really want to make something tough for some one, i can come up with million excuses unless the argument ends up in a court and in front of a judge and thats where the buck stops. as it did for Microsoft for internet browser.01-25-15 01:12 PMLike 5 - Agree 100%. I've gotten into a "discussion " with a mod because I called another forum member an *****. He Was straight out trying to entice a argument and lying even when shown proof to contrary by other members. So because I insulted him I got an infraction but he was allowed to keep going. I know being a mod isn't easy but it's a little lacking on this "fan" site (didn't Kevin say a couple years ago that he wanted CB to be the "#1 BlackBerry Fan Site" ?

That's the question Netflix should be asking. Look at how poor BB's Facebook experience is compared to the real app.

You're asking why Netflix didn't allow BB to make their app. Would those users then call BB if something is wrong? How much do you really trust BB to make fixes and get those fixes out to users? If I were Netflix and wanted to make an app, I would make it myself and have control over it. Others may disagree, but apparently Netflix feels like I do on this. (At least that is true for the few people I know there)

There were many devs that even ported native Android games to BlackBerry in under a day using the same SDL, opengl, C libraries. Netflix is using Android runtime. There isn't even one compiler directive to worry about. Just a few xml entries that is packaged with the Blackberry application. 5 minutes of effort.
Posted via CB1001-25-15 01:14 PMLike 4 - You're not getting it app developer. The same app can be ported as-is. The Apk that Netflix deploys to Playstore and Amazon can be deployed to BlackBerry World as is.

- DenverRalphyRetired Network ModThe number 1 reason Netflix doesn't share their API's is mainly because they'd lose all their programming. None of the content owners would allow Netflix to stream media to apps that aren't reasonably guaranteed to enforce the DRM. And I'm relatively confident that Netflix is probably contractually obligated to do so.01-25-15 01:29 PMLike 0

- DenverRalphyRetired Network ModI don't hate Blackberry at all. Far from it. Never have. You'd be hard pressed to see me at any time say otherwise. But hey... if you're going to discount a valid point just because you don't care to read my posts... well then you're just perpetuating a fanboy stereotype.01-25-15 01:38 PMLike 0

- I understand this is supposed to be the "all cheerleading, all the time" thread, but someone brought up Chen's neutrality comments in this thread. Someone then specifically referred to me, since I am responsible for a mobile applications budget and make the platform decisions for our company, including our decision to wait and see on BB10. I responded to that reference, and several of us are continuing a discussion about Chen's latest comments.
I don't know how a conversation can be called a discussion if no one is allowed to disagree with Chen or agree with Netflix.

Edit: It's the same runtime for everyone. It is open source and Google vendors, Amazon, Blackberry are using the same code to run the APK.
Edit2: You're are mixing up platforms. Netflix on a Smart TV VS. Netflix on Roku VS. Netflix on APK are considerable efforts. Here you would have a point.
But if a Samsung TV and Panasonic TV had the same smart TV software and Netflix bundled their software with Samsung but refused Panasonic, this is our point. Why??

01-25-15 01:53 PMLike 5 - As per Instagram. I spoke to Kris about that and he told me his sources were certain as was he, the app was in development before disappearing. This was at the time BlackBerry had the 'strategic alternatives' aka 'for sale' sign up.
Behind closed doors, who knows what was brewing at the time of BB10 launching and so forth. Remember Kevin's infamous 'Instagram for BlackBerry 10' is coming, he was sure of it.

I think if BB can start growing again, there could be interest in the future. If BB had a device in living rooms, I would bet Netflix would support it.

- Roku sold about 8 million devices between 2008 and 2013. BB10 is doing much better based on those sales. i dont think that every one who bought Roku has netflix subscription? there are many other examples that i can see just do not make this argument valid that BB10 is irrelevant.

Not sure what side of the arguement this falls on. Except they really Don't seem to mind the out of date app on the WD. Also the app on my other WD players' not hubs. No hard drive. Have an up to date app. Go figure

Posted via CB1001-25-15 02:29 PMLike 3 - all the negativity over here all of a sudden, all the off topic posts , just says to me that the shorts must be getting desperate . Truth is it makes me happy. To the investor's, heads up, keep strong, money is coming our way.
Posted via CB1001-25-15 02:29 PMLike 7 - not only that, plus they are forcing you to read their posts not to mention that getting so upset and name calling, if you dont read it. so apple like mentality. even though they all have android or apple devices but yet, they have to be on CB.01-25-15 02:38 PMLike 8
