I’m willing to pay but what I really hate is having to go searching across several sites for good content. Currently I have only Netflix but I had both Amazon Prime and Hulu for a while. As far as I am concerned the consumer problem that MUST be solved is making a great deal more movie content available on one site/channel, at whatever cost. I simply don’t want to waste my time scouring through several sites trying to find a movie to watch.
.... and the movie selection at Netflix really sux, I am close to cancelling with them. Time, convenience, and maximum content are consumer issues that are not being well addressed at present.
http://instantwatcher.com indexes and searches Netflix and Amazon Prime and podcasts.
I would like to see Google create a good search mechanism for Youtube. Trying to find anything on Youtube is an effort in futility.
Amazon Prime did mess up recently — now they allow uploads of short videos and clips. It really messes up their listings having to filter through that junk.
There’s a couple of aggregating websites that search the content of multiple services. I’ve never bothered to use any (I only have Netflix and Prime and I almost never use Prime, I really should but I never get around to finding stuff there), but I know they exist. I doubt they’ll get you the content, but you can at least figure out which service has what you’re looking for.
