although I don't really understand why going to another site in a browser is such a big dea

Because the majority of people use a remote with their TV and browsers are not remote friendly.

a-ha, thanks for that. I've seen tvs advertising that they have access to some of the streaming services, presumably that would be remote-friendly, but if you don't have a whizz-bang new telly, I can understand why people would want it through a remote-friendly application. Thanks for the info.
