Well, I haven't ditched Comcast yet, but I'm making preparations. Built and installed a "media PC" for my new plasma HDTV. Already a NetFlix subscriber. The only thing I see that cable can do to regain market share is allow "a la carte" channel subscriptions charging only for subscribed channels. There are a VERY few premium channels that I would like to get, but to get them I would also have to pay for hundreds I am not interested in.

I think eventually, all show production will move to an internet transmission model.

I wonder if there is going to be a move to shutdown/limit Netflix/HULU, etc. I can see the cable companies working with TV/Film/Network production companies to limit what can be broadcast over the internet. Also, eventually seeing Netflix pricing go up dramatically from the current low rates...

Can I ask you a question what kind of Plasma TV did you get? Our TV is acting up (it’s a 1984 so I can’t complain but still I love that TV and wouldn’t think of replacing it otherwise lol). I was looking at the Black Friday Ads and reading reviews and I had come to the conclusion a Plasma is what we should buy and I noted Panasonic had very good ratings so I was thinking of one of those.
