The world is changing, and changing quickly. Redbox kiosks outside of McDonalds and gas stations coupled with Netflix have obliterated both Blockbuster and Hollywood video. Next on the chopping block is Comcast, Dishnetwork and Direct TV.
With either the iTV from Apple or Google TV it will soon be possible to watch only the channels you want, watch any tv episode from any season, and cut your tv bill dramatically by using the Internet and free over-the-air tv for local stations. Comcast will only serve as a pipeline to the Internet.
The market is changing, and dinosaur management think they can prevent this change by refusing to participate. We all know how well this approach worked for the music industry.
I signed up for Netflix via Roku box about 5 months ago. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t watch something, and many times I watch the Netflix streaming more than regular TV.
The main draw is NO DAMN ADS.
I get so sick of trying to watch something on regular/cable TV and have it constantly interrupted by the advertising breaks. Some of those breaks are up to 8 minutes now.
