Got a little bit of Netflix related news for you, thought we would bundle it up nice and tight, place it on your screen and you can do the rest.

Netflix Remote:  Not like it is far from your fingers anyway, but Netflix is reportedly working with manufactures to get a Netflix button put on remote controls.  Currently brands such as Best Buy’s Dynex, Haier, Memorex, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Sharp and Toshiba will have a red button on their Blu-Ray players sometime this spring.  Sharp, Sony and Toshiba will also offer the button on select new Internet-connected TVs, as will set-top boxes Boxee, Iomega and Roku.

Netflix removes feature…Blogging world erupts:  It is no surprise that Netflix wants to do away with its DVD mailing service.  A recent report stated that it costs Netflix $1 for every disk it mails vs. $.05 (that’s five cents) for each show that it streams.  Less money spent on postage, means more money to shell out to studios for better streaming content right?  But recently Netflix’s director of product management Jamie Odell announced that the company would be “removing the ‘Add to DVD Queue’ option from streaming devices.” This was an indication that Netflix could “concentrate on offering you the titles that are available to watch instantly.”  This only makes sense since why would you want the physical disk if you could watch it via streaming?

No Love For Netflix?:  THR recently polled some insiders about how executives really feel about Netflix.  It isn’t all rosy.  Many Hollywood executives view Netflix as bad for their current business model.  We have news for you Hollywood, it is time to change your business model. With studios looking to get a place at the trough (or tit, choose your own farm reference here) little is to be done about negotiating with Netflix.  If the price is right, the studios will bend.  Here is a look at the big deals thanks to THR.com

STREAMING: THE BIG DEALS

One analyst believes Netflix will spend $700 million in 2011 and $1.2 billion in 2012 to license Hollywood content for its streaming-video service. A sampling of how that money is being spent.

The Starz deal has been valued at $30 million per year and expires at the end of 2011.
