This week, streaming video giant Netflix became the first non-TV network to win an award at this year’s Emmys with its slate of original programming headlined by “House of Cards.” But after receiving 14 nominations, the final count of three statuettes in Netflix’s collection underwhelmed many Emmys watchers. And streaming service has some serious headwinds, according to some accounts, as traditional cable looks for ways to strike back. Pay-TV companies such as Comcast are beginning to engage in a tug-of-war with Netflix for the binge-inclined viewer, with a possible Comcast-Fox deal in the works. Meanwhile, Amazon’s new line of Kindles will include offline viewing capabilities -- a feature that promises to differentiate Amazon from streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu that require sound Internet connections. For this episode of the Mediatwits, we’re joined by Peter Kafka of AllThingsD and Dan Rayburn of StreamingMedia.com. MediaShift’s Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars Andrew Lih of American University and Monica Guzman of Geek Wire and Seattle Times.
