Netflix expands it's streaming service

Two days after it announced the split of it's dvd and streaming services, Netflix announced that it has expanded it's licensing deal with Discovery Communications in order to expand it's catalog of shows.

It can now stream shows like Man vs Wild and How it's made. But as long as the show is 18 months old.

I think it's an obvious move to try and stop the bleeding here for netflix. This isn't the greatest news since the announcement of the price hike or the split. But since they just lost Starz, any addition to their already faltering selection is good news for them. Honestly, I didn't notice the Starz selection until very recently. Hulu and Amazon Prime are beefing up their online selection too, so i'm hoping an alternative is on the way.

Here is the article.
