                          The streaming service Netflix streaming also in Germany since today.
             

 
 
 
     
 
     
     
                                                             

die The video stores and television is a few too inflexible. Today you can select programming and broadcasting times, after all even. Make possible the so-called video-on-demand services such as max cathedrals, Ever Watch and Amazon Prime Instant Video. They offer either a monthly or yearly fee or payments to individual films and TV series over the internet. You log on, looks for a movie or show and looks.


             
                                                             
                                 

Since today another service in Germany is offered: Netflix. The American streaming service has made waves with the self-produced series “House of Cards” by itself. Therefore, it is now speculated that Netflix conquered by the United States and the Federal Republic. Market leader in this country is so far the service max cathedrals with an estimated 35 to 44 percent market share.


             
                                                             

For a first comparison FAZ.NET has the features of video-on-demand services for Germany looked. In addition to max cathedrals and Netflix are also Ever Watch and Amazon Prime Instant Video.


             
                                                             

Subscription everything on Watch Ever

The French supplier Watch Ever has with 9500 series episodes and 3500 films a rather small compared with the competitors offer max cathedrals. For 8,99 Euro per month you can access all the contents – no film and no series is extra. The subscription can be canceled monthly. Of some popular series, there is often only the first seasons. For the American series “NCIS” For example, the first three of the eleven seasons currently available. On demand on Watch Ever the company said, to be always ready to offer all scales of a series at the same time.


             
                                                             

The problem is: The video-on-demand services must obtain licenses in order to show the films and series ever allowed. In the negotiations are then usually for a period between three months and three years. Because of this limitation, it may be that not all seasons are available simultaneously or movies that you have never seen a week ago, are no longer online.


             
                                                             

max cathedrals is currently the largest provider

this problem but also has the largest current players. Max cathedrals is a company of “Pro Sieben Sat 1 Media AG” and can not offer movies and series also durable – except for the productions of the two transmitters. However, the offer of max cathedral is much larger. Customers can choose whether they want to pay individually for each film, each series or season, or want to enter into a subscription for 7,99 € and thus have access to 50,000 of the total 60,000 content.


             
                                                             

One advantage of max cathedrals against the competitors Watch Ever are currently running TV series. So you can not look at here, for example, the old seasons of the series “NCIS”, but the latest episodes even one month after the TV broadcast. The same goes for the series “The Simpsons”. Up to 14 days after the Original episode can be seen online yet.


             
                                                             

The cheapest is Amazon

For a few months, the shipping giant Amazon has its own video-on-demand service called “Amazon Prime Instant Video”. It is part of the Prime program, which allows for faster deliveries for an annual base amount of 49 Euro. Who wants to give up the supplies, pay for the film and series offer a month 7,99 € makes € 95.88 a year, however, and is thus almost twice as expensive as a full membership.
