   It could have been, but at the end it also says "Free-to-Air T.V.", so   
   that would mean "Pay T.V." must be anything you pay a fee for -   
   Netflix, Sky TV, iTunes, etc.

   Yep ... it's moronically stupid that you can't see a listing of shows   
   on Netflix's own website.  :-\   
      
   There's a link 'hidden' at the bottom of the page in the site maps   
   links for "Netflix Originals" which does give a long list of shows and   
   movies, but that's only their own products (and does include Star Trek   
   Discovery), not others like "Star Trek Voyager" or "The Expanse" which   
   are on the JustWatch.com list,
