Only complete morons who buy the sh*t being fed to them 24/7, would sit still and gawk at this weak crap hour after hour.
The Internet buried TV long ago...
But for those drolling in cups, it's cool.
Americans still want their video entertainment but they don’t want 20 min of commercials per hour. I only watch TV for local news and weather and I don’t have cable. Dropped it when it went above $50 a month.
I would be more than happy to pay per view over the Internet.
All I have is internet on my phone and my little ten inch net book.
We had a television from January of ninety through March of ninety five.
We are a family of book people.
I would rather have classic radio back than have cable TV.
One CEO said this ??? WoW. Headline stuff.
I guess I can expect my Verizon FIOS to go black any time now.
You’ll see the FCC roll out it’s program to buy out over-the-air TV broadcast licenses in 2014. As stations go dark and become cable-and-webcasters, this spectrum will be auctioned off to Google, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and others who want it for wireless internet service.
It will be the end of an era, but the buyout money will at least partially compensate station licensees for the cash they had to invest in converting from analog to digital broadcasting a couple of years ago as mandated by the FCC.
Ok I have a question. My Comcast cable is now above 60 bucks. If I were to cut my service where can I able to view shows I like for example: Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and I do enjoy watching HGTV? Now would I be able to view my shows like TWD on the same day or the day after?
Comcast is pulling a fast one with this “remote access” service. So not happy with them.
It’s all crap, anyway. Who needs it!
I cut the cable over two years ago and never looked back. Netflix, Roku, Amazon have enough content to last a lifetime. And if you want some of the new shows that you can’t get immediately through those services, you can always get a VPN and use bit torrent.
At the end of the day nothing is or will be free. The advertiser supported programming model will continue for quite some time. When that goes away it will become a subscription model where you have to buy a lineup of your choosing to be delivered to your TV. You may be able to buy individual shows - or have to buy a lineup for something like a month at a time. However your costs won’t go down.
The most economical delivery method for content is right now cable TV - despite the cost. Do the math - lets say you can buy any show you want for a buck. You only watch that show once a week - so you are at 4 bucks per month. But wait - you want to watch the Daytona 500 which is now pay per view - so that is $69.95. Throw in a few others and pretty soon you are paying $150 bucks for a month of entertainment that you currently get for $125. NO programming will cost you less than a dollar a show - ever despite what everyone is led to believe.
Costs of entertainment will continue to rise until people stop buying entertainment - which will be never.
