Flow video service

It been a few weeks now since people have started to complain more about how they cannot get shows that used to be aired on Flow. There is now a full screen notice saying they are obligated to block the show because they do not own the rights and to check another channel to see the show.

OK I accept that..

What is extremely POOR is the ghosting, choppiness, mute and loud blips throughout the rest of their offering. Some channels show well but most are best thought of as what you see on youtube.com at 240p. On top of that the colours are grossly misrepresented. The entire experience is extremely unsatisfactory. I expect a price hike from them soon enough because their running costs go up.. while their offering goes down.

If TnT is anything like the people in this report (I think we are) Flow is a typical money hungry company for selling less and charging the same rate.

The other video providers are not much better but Flow is the market leader so they should step up their quality.
