    Netflix is about the same, but also has some features that HBO etc. don't have and vice versa etc.

    HBO has traditionally differentiated itself with original content that was far superior to anything else on TV. Netflix, was originally a place to conviniently stream movies for leas than Ten buck monthly, as long as you were okay with content that is a year old or older.
    now Netflix is directly attacking HBO and other original content providers.  They are giving HBO, Showtime, and others a run for their money.   They are paying premium to actors to get premium content and are winning.

    Netflix is great.  At this pace of growth of creating original content they will overtake media companies soon.  Orange is the new black was great.
