Netflix streaming problem? That's a Temporary Sony-Starz contract snafu

All users having a tough time accessing Netflix.com, here is a piece of information. You are having a problem with the streaming services because Netflix and Starz, the pay TV distributor for Sony, are having a temporary contract issue.

Netflix users were told of the snafu on Friday, when Sony movies were rendered unavailable on the Watch Instantly feature. You can still get Rob Schneider mailed to you though, so don't worry, The Huffington Post said.

People have even started suspecting a cyber attack to be the cause of the problem.

Users are writing and complaining all over the internet, about issues they've had loading Netflix's site to both order and stream content. Netflix's movies.netflix.com is reportedly up and running for many, though subscribers say that they cannot access Netflix via their iPad or Apple TV the report said.

Netflix is expected to re-up their deal with Starz, which ends next year. And it'll be an even cushier deal than the $30 million Starz is paid now by Netflix, as Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said it wouldn't be shocking if Netflix paid more than $200 million per year in the new deal Consumerist online stated.

Netflix has yet to offer an update on the situation via its official Twitter account (@Netflix) or blog.
