Sky (in Germany) has a service called Go which streams to cell phones/tablets. They also have Anytime for the box. No need to watch at the time if you don't want to + you can always just record it and watch later.

They've been pretty aggressive in rebuilding their platform content wise. If you use a regular cable (not wireless) the online archive is actually pretty big and they have all the latest blockbusters.

They even offer a DRMed download of content which I haven't seen on any other platform (quite convenient if you commute via train through low-bandwidth areas :D).

That being said...Netflix is awesome and they have excellent developers and understand software. Their original content is amazing, very bullish on them :)

Sky UK has Go too, plus thousands of films available to stream, built-in catch-up TV and Sky Box Sets which has loads of programmes, from HBO, Disney, C4 and many others - all built into the Sky Box and accessible via the remote.

Truthfully, it's not as cost effective as Netflix, but hey, where else can I watch the Premier League and La Liga?
