Bermuda CableVision’s biggest competitor may not be World on Wireless, DVD rentals, Netflix or other video-on-demand sites, but a one-man business on Union Street called Another Level Audio, which shares space with a pet fish shop.George Peets has quietly been offering Netflix the US version for months in Bermuda.And that’s not all.His “Netflix Triple Play” package, which costs $35 a month, also gives subscribers access to hundreds of sports programmes and events, TV shows (available less than an hour after air time), thousands of just-out and old-release movies plus a massive music library.Mr Peets, who attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, used to operate DVD kiosks in grocery stores on the island.He also runs an audio business, video game room and Paradise Pet Store, from his Union Street premises.He doesn’t advertise his “Triple Play” and movies-deluxe packages but said he has managed to sign up more than 1,000 subscribers so far just through word-of-mouth.He went to an East End condo complex recently and now dozens there want his service, he noted.His subscribers, he said, get access to high-quality high-definition programming including: Thousands of movies plus new releases and movies that have just come out in the theatre; popular and current network and other TV shows-- 39 minutes after they air-- such as the soaps, reality shows, CSI, other ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC shows etc; sports networks and games (football, NFL, tennis, hockey, wrestling, boxing, handball, darts etc); children’s shows including Cartoon Network; and Pandora Radio where you can listen to 40 million songs free or download for a fee.“Watch what you want when you want all for $35 a month. You name it you can watch it, any time, day or night,” Mr Peets said.He said he’s not driven by making money in his venture, he just wants people in Bermuda “to watch TV the way it’s meant to be watched”.“I am just trying to offer a service at a price that’s affordable to people,” he said.His company’s slogan is: “Be in control of your media instead of your media controlling you.”Subscribers can watch programmes from their computers and laptops or from any TV set flat screen or “fat-back” via a special cable hook-up with either an HDMI, VGA or other cable. They use a keyboard and mouse to control icons on their screen and then click to view content of their choice.Mr Peets said he or another technician will come to your home and hook up the service for a $200 fee, which includes installing any necessary cables so you can watch on TV, setting your list of most-watched shows and content for ease of use, and installing software to optimise your Internet speed and viewing and basically turn your PS into a media device, or enable your TV to have Internet TV.As many as five TVs can be watched on the same account each with different programming.Mr Peets said as long as you have Internet service in your home through one of the local providers, his service will work on your TV or PC.What’s more, he said, the quality will be “excellent”, mostly in high-def, with little if any buffering, freezing or audio issues - because of the software he installs.He gave us a demonstration showing the high quality of the movies and shows streamed via his service.If it sounds too good to be true, there is a slight catch, though it doesn’t involve the subscribers. Mr Peets does not actually rake in subscriber revenue himself.Basically, he earns kickbacks from the providers of the content he has permission to offer. So the content providers are paid first and Mr Peets earns money back from them.Mr Peets said his business is completely legal, and he has secured the necessary permission and agreements with content providers to offer their content.He said there is probably nothing stopping someone else doing something similar to what he does--- if they have the expertise and the right software.But they will have to compete with his price and the quality of their programming may not be as good or their selection as large as Another Level’s.Mr Peets said he basically came up with the service after deciding CableVision’s prices were far too high for what he wanted to offer in his game room and for cable TV in general.So he and some friends from school designed the service, putting the content websites together themselves and obtaining the right software to run the service with.Word of Mr Peets’ service comes after Netflix this week announced it had launched a streaming service in Bermuda.For $8 a month, the same price as in the US, local residents get unlimited movies and TV episodes downloaded instantly over the Internet to their TV or computers.But the library of movies and TV shows available to the Island’s residents is much smaller than the US version of Netflix, few new releases are offered, and many titles are dubbed in Spanish.In any event, many residents have been able to subscribe to Netflix US version and other Internet TV by going online and acquiring US VPN set up for a monthly fee.There are many VPN choices online ranging in price from $7 up. The quality of the programming varies though depending on the user’s Internet quality and other factors.
