Another Australian streaming service ends as Dendy Direct winds up
Independent cinema chain Dendy is to close its video-on-demand service, the company announced today.
Launched in July 2014, the service was intended to offer a broad range of movies for Dendy’s art house audiences and included content from distributors including ABC Commercial, Beyond Home Entertainment, Madman and Roadshow.
While some are closing, others are only getting started. Check out our local offering:

More money in licensing to Netflix than marketing to end consumers?
Interesting timing as i noticed that @ESPN are launching their ESPN+ online subscription service today and you would think “it should” be a nice little earner for $DIS
….but wondering if people are going to already be “peak subs” with their Netflix and Amazon prime accounts.

The idea was right for Dendy but the execution was terrible. On two seperate occasions I tried to stream movies and it was a hair-pulling, frustrating experience with terrible customer service.
Totally agree. Clunky site, so many problems just to stream (prob not with my speed) and as previously stated the most appalling customer service.
Such a shame to loose Dendy Digital as it filled a void in the Arthouse market that Netflix/Stan has little interest in perusing.
Can anyone suggest some other sites that cater for a similar Arthouse crowd ?
Thanks, Rob.
Really hope that locals are able to stay afloat in this market.
It won’t help Australian stories be told, or Australians get work in the biz, if Netflix is the only viable player.
