Comment on Comcast Unveils Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV+ Streaming Bundle

You’re definitely paying for legality and safety, but when you have to search through five different streaming apps to find that the movie you’re looking for can only be rented via yet another service, the convenience becomes debatable.

At least I know the streaming service videos will always be in English.

  As someone outside the us: I wish
  
  Amazon had (maybe still has, no idea) the habit of having some movies and shows only available in your local language

Apple and others have tried to fix the discovery issue. And some of the platforms tell them to fuck off. Such as Netflix. And formerly Amazon.

If you’re not aware, AppleTV will list things across many streaming services and take you right to the shows/movies in the respective apps. As long as a platform is participating.

Apple and Amazon worked out their differences a few years ago and their stuff is now part of the index.

I wonder if this bundle will change that. AppleTV does not index Netflix.

Use JustWatch.com or their app.

It doesn’t solve the multiple services issue, but it at least helps you find what you’re looking for.

  Why use JustWatch.com when you can follow this guide to know where to watch King Kong vs. Godzilla (1968)
