What's bothering me more than price (per service, I won't buy all of them at once), is the division of content across platforms.

With piracy it's still to this day more usable in the sense that you can back up all downloads to a private kodi-server (or similar), and have a single access-point.

Question: Does anyone on HN know about any ways to consolidate either music or video-content across multiple providers?

View on HN

I think we're starting to see existing providers offering that.

YouView in the UK was the first I saw.

Now Fire TVs from Amazon display titles from apps (e.g. Netflix and a bunch of others I don't use) as clearly as first-party items. There'll be a square for House of Cards right next to American Gods.

Yeah. I have a Fire TV Stick and half the time I'm not even sure what service I'm watching something on - encouraged in part by the search function bringing up all results from different providers at once.
