In a discussion of Netflix's poor original content hit-rate, an example of a direct competitor's massively higher hit-rate seems apt.

Disney/Touchstone's "massively higher hit-rate" is not representative of most of the companies Netflix competes with ergo a comparison of Netflix to only Disney is not particularly apt. Netflix hasn't matched Disney's success, but neither have most of Disney's rivals.

AT&T/Time Warner's hit rate for HBO seems pretty high, especially in a highly desired & affluent market segment, so there's another one?

Time Warner has the Harry Potter license

So are you talking licensed stuff or original material? Netflix has licensed plenty of good content (incl. Adult Swim stuff).
