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?
Starz has been around since 1994 I believe. Netflix launched their streaming in January 2007 and then in 2008 they integrated StarzPlay. Apple TV also launched in January of 2007. How forward thinking would it have been for Apple to have signed up Netflix at the same time Netflix introduced their streaming product? Hindsight right?

Yes, I knew Starz as a TV service was around before, I meant VUDU or whatever they were calling the streaming service. 2006ish or so I thought?

The name doesn't matter so much as the concept and the service.
