Netflix isn't so much like "cable" anymore. It's more like HBO. It's a channel; one of many.

My family, for example, subscribes to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and CrunchyRoll.

I suspect in the future there will be more and more niche channels like Afrostream (and CrunchyRoll).

Except that it airs orders-of-magnitude more content than HBO from a variety of sources. It's something between cable and a channel.

It's not HBO, it's Netflix.
