Maybe he is referencing that the failure known as the original Apple TV has only been out since 2007.

10 years? Did you mean 2.5 years? Netflix streaming to non computer devices has only existed for 2.5 years, when the Roku video player was introduced. The Apple TV itself is only four years old.
Exactly... not sure who supposedly has the lack of forward thinkers.. At first I assumed it was meant Netflix since he said 10 years, but that wouldn't be relevant to Hulu on aTV, so I conclude it must be directed at Apple, but then the 10 years still doesn't make sense.

MAVIC: I think it's only been roughly 5 years. But that's like 20 internet years so I hear what you're saying.

Try less than for years. Early 2007 Neflix introduced PC only streaming. It was January of that year.

Again, the streaming service currently known as Netflix has been around for roughly 10 years. Yes, the ATV has only been around for close to four years, but what I'm getting at was that Apple was slow to adopt such a service even though it had been around for quite some time.
Apple has been extremely slow developing the ATV. It's capabilities are still way behind many of the other available options.

I don't think that's right. Can you site a source?
This PC World article is saying January of 2007. Did they have something similar by a different name before that?

Netflix launched their own, the shortly there after implemented the Starz service. Starz has been around for quite some time. I used it for years in its previous incarnation.

Okay, yeah I thought you meant Netflix never had their own service. They integrated Starz Play about a year after the launch.
I thought Starz had only been around for 4 years or so. They were around longer?

It was less than a year that they integrated Starz. Starz had been around more than four years before Neflix started using them.
