Discovering Streaming Media Services to Use at Our Apartments for Rent in Gainesville, FL
In years past, people received their media content by using their televisions, either through a cable box or by using a DVD player or VCR. Nowadays, though, streaming media services are becoming a popular option for people who want a different – and usually cheaper – option for watching TV shows and movies.
There are many streaming services to choose from, but the most popular are:
- Netflix
- Amazon Instant Video
- Hulu Plus
Netflix is the most popular of these three services, with over 44 million subscribers (as reported in the company’s quarterly earnings report in January 2014). It has one of the largest streaming content libraries and has the easiest to use interface. As amazing as that all sounds, the other two services have their own unique characteristics, too. For example, Amazon Instant Video is a fantastic option for those who already have an Amazon Prime subscription, as many shows and movies can be watched for free. And, Hulu Plus offers one feature that none of the other services do – it allows users to view new episodes of currently running TV shows usually the following day after the show originally airs. (For Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, you’ll have to wait months after a particular show’s season ends to start watching the episodes.) As you can see, each streaming services comes with its own benefits and features, and it’s up to the user to decide which option is the best fit for their needs.
