[IxDA Discuss] Netflix direct-to-TV streaming

[Gretchen Anderson]

I don't think the idea is to replicate web functionality. It's taking on
Apple TV type products. 

People want to watch TV on TVs not PCs, especially now that we have
large screens. You also get more bandwidth so you have higher
resolution. Is basically trying to deliver on the promise of
video-on-demand.

Makes a lot of sense to me.

To replicate the website's functionality in the tv would require either
a
huge effort developing proprietary hardware & UI.  Or a web enabled tv
and
they dont work very well.
