Netflix said to negotiate with US cable companies for set-top box app

Netflix is in talks with several US cable companies with the aim of making its video streaming app available on set-top boxes, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report says that Netflix's discussions with US operators, including Comcast and Suddenlink, are at an early stage with no deal expected soon. Last month the UK's Virgin Media became the first cable operator to offer Netflix to its customers; companies in the US have so far been reluctant to embrace streaming services, seeing the technology as broadly competitive with their traditional content offerings.
