The company announced in June that the video streaming service would at last be available in Spain, after the country was skipped over in Netflix's last European expansion last year.

It also falls in line with findings from other streaming providers. YouTube last fall, for example, said more than half of the streams it serves up for its live TV service end up on televisions.
