Netflix added Relativity Media movies to its available streaming content through their two-year deal with Starz Play. In addition to Netflix' deals with Sony and Disney, this makes Netflix even more competitive with On Demand and HBO, and cable and satellite providers in general, as Relativity movies will be available for streaming at the same time as they appear on premium channels. According to analysts, about 1/5 of the online movie rental's titles are now available for streaming to computers, PS3, and other video game consoles (connected to TVs).

This enGadget post is actually about a story they culled from the Web, but contains decent commentary and is well-linked for the full story on Dallas Mavericks' owner, Mark Cuban's, contention that Netflix will fall before VoD (Video on Demand).
Briefly, Cuban insists Netflix is paying-out more on new video deals than it can recoup at its current price model. He also says streaming media is too 'complex' to be a feasible content provider. This is why he says On-Demand and "TV" will overtake the growing media provider giant.
