Netflix is going to raise prices soon by a dollar or two, but not if you already subscribe


Our latest update on how Netflix is doing has come today with its earnings report for the first quarter, and buried within the company revealed it is finally going to offer service on cable-provided DVRs. The bad news is that, at least at first, it's not going to be on the boxes most of you likely have, but it will start with providers that use TiVo DVRs (Suddenlink and RCN for example) and "try" to extend beyond after that. The biggest news comes next however: it's raising prices later this quarter. The increase will be for new members only and is expected to be a "one or two dollar" increase, while current subscribers will be grandfathered in at their current rates "for a generous time period."
