Engeza izindleko ze- Netlflix , i- Hulu , isevisi yakho eyintandokazi ye-Demand njenge-Vudu noma i-Amazon, futhi ungangeze i-HBO Manje ngo-Ephreli, futhi ngeke usondele eduze kwebhayisikili yekhebula emadolobheni amaningi amakhulu kuleli zwe. Kuzizwa sengathi izinkampani ezinjengeComcast no-DirecTV, abaye bafaka amanani amakhulu kakhulu amasha ukuze baqede iziteshi ezingatholi ababukeli abaningi, bahamba ngendlela ye-dinosaur.

Ingabe izosebenza? Njengawo wonke ubuchwepheshe, kuzoba nezinhlungu ezithile ezikhulayo, kodwa ubuchwepheshe lapha buyathandekayo futhi bunamanani amakhono.
I-setting eyisisekelo ye-View ilula. Landa uhlelo lokusebenza kusuka ku-PS Store futhi manje ungayifinyelela ku-smart part ye-XMB lapho ufinyelela ku-Netflix, i-Hulu, i-Amazon Prime, njll. Isici esibalulekile, okungenani okwamanje, uhlelo olubukhoma, olufanayo Hlela uhlelo oluzoyithola ngebhokisi lekhebula.

I-TV ebukhoma inhle futhi iza ne-interface enhle kakhulu, yomsebenzisi-friendly kodwa ababukeli banamuhla badinga amabellane namacici, futhi u-Sony unambalwa. Ungakwazi ukumaka imibukiso yakho oyintandokazi ngenkathi ubakhangile futhi uhlelo luzo "Ukurekhoda" kuwe ngezinsuku ezingu-28 ezilandelayo. U-Sony uphinde uthi izinsuku ezintathu zokugcina zohlelo oludumile ziyatholakala ngaphandle kwesidingo sokuhlela. Ngakho ukhohliwe ukuhlela "i-Daily Show" ebusuku eledlule? Kuzobe sekukhona usuku olulandelayo. I-interface isebenza njengama-social media ngendlela ekuqhubezela ngayo kwenye okuqukethwe ongayithanda. Ngesikhathi ubukela "I-Dateline NBC," ungadlulisa amehlo kubugebengu bokwephulwa kweqiniso okwakamuva ukuthi kubhalwe phansi ngamadijithi noma kuzoba maduze.
Nasi inkinga enkulu yokuqala: Akuwona wonke umuntu ogibele okwamanje. Ngakho-ke, akekho i-ABC noma i-WGN esekelwe e-Chicago, isibonelo. Kodwa i-line-up inhle kakhulu enkonzweni yokuqala, kuhlanganise ne-FX, AMC, Sundance, Comedy Central, namanethiwekhi we-Turner (TBS, TNT, njll).

Futhi ungasebenzisa i-View njengengxenye nje yokuthi ubheke i-la carte bese ubamba "Scandal" ku-Hulu, isibonelo.
Malini? I-$ 50, engase ibonakale eningi kubantu abamakethe amancane lapho izimali zekhebula zisazithengeka kodwa zingabonakala zimbalwa kakhulu ezimakethe ezinkulu ezifana neChicago lapho kungenakwenzeka khona ukuthola ngaphansi kwezibalo ezintathu ngenyanga ukubuka i-TV.
Okokugcina, kukhona izethameli zanamuhla ezingakhathazeki cishe ngokwanele kodwa kungikhathazeka ngakho futhi kungase kube kuwe. Ngibheke isibalo semiboniso ku-View futhi akekho kubo owayebuke ngaphezu kwe-420p. Ikhwalithi ye-HD yokusakaza ayifani neze neHulu. Kungenzeka okuthile okuzokwenza ngcono ngokuhamba kwesikhathi (ngimdala ngokwanele ukukhumbula lapho i-Netflix ibonakala njengethebhulethi ye-VHS lapho iqala ukusakaza), kodwa kungaba ubuhlungu obukhulayo.
