It’s hard to believe channel 4 needs to be privatised in order to get better at streaming. All you need to do is look at BBC iPlayer, which is miles better.
iPlayer and "miles better" in the same phrase, really ?
iPlayer has the most ludicrously useless interface.
Low hanging fruit example: looking up things based on the schedule ? Forget about it.
For clarity I'm not saying Channel 4 is the best, but at least they cover all the blatantly obvious low-hanging fruit that the BBC singularly fails to do.
> I certainly prefer iPlayer interface to Netflix's one.
There is a lot I could forgive about the Netflix interface IF their search worked in a meaningful way.
But Neflix search interface is utter trash, I'm sorry but it is. And that sours the rest of the UI/UX.
Case in point:
If I search for "X language films" AND I select the appropriate option from the list that appears on the left (i.e. "X films & tv"), then I expect the list that is presented to be a list of films & tv in the language selected.
Instead what I get is a few films in that language, and then I get a bunch of Hollywood and other stuff.
