Just because Rim Cook is an All-In Aubbie, it doesn‘t necessarily mean he is not anti SEC. Case in point all of the posters on this board who actively root aGAINst all other SEC teams.
Ha ha, I was just trying something nice.
It damned sure isn't any more efficient.
concur, I've thought from the beginning that streaming would soon be comparable to cable in cost.
I disagree totally. Nobody ever said it would be cheaper if you insist on having every channel you had when you had cable and the add ons. If the family is a slave to the tv and the wife insists on her channels, the kids theirs, and you yours, you aren't going to save anything and if that makes everybody happy, great. If not, go back to cable or maybe some watching habits need adjusting. Using an antenna, Roku, and a Fire Stick I have way more channels/apps to choose from now than I ever had with just cable and I don't have a contract with any of them, everything is month to month and free except for the one service I rotate every few months. I've got Hulu now (unless you count Amazon Prime Video). I'm about to drop Hulu and get Sling for football season but will cancel it in November.
But it WAS cheaper with most of the same channels. That is why so many people switched. You could get sling for 20 bucks. Then playstation had a service that was relatively cheap. Directv Now was affordable for a minute. At that time, people were dropping $200+ cable and or satellite plus internet bundles for the cost of high speed internet and 20-40 bucks at most for a streamer that offered most anything that you wanted. Once these services were taken over by the big corporations, the prices all shot up and there's not really any savings involved.
If you ever want an interesting listen and are short on reasons to dislike Michael Eisner, the Pixar vs Dreamworks episodes of Business Wars will fulfill both of those.
And less convenience. I priced streaming a week or two ago and it's already to the point where for me streaming vs cable is about break-even, but the user interface is much better for cable.
For the right price, and Apple has plenty of cheddar, they will sell it, right?
Exactly. I’m the perfect storm of a person that a la carte television is a nightmare for. My family honestly doesn’t watch a whole lot of television. But the breakdown is as follows. I watch HBO (its own streaming service, but it’s always been premium so no big deal) and live sports. As far as live sports though, pretty much all Sun Belt games are on ESPN+, whereas in the past many of these games were on ESPN U. Also, I’m a Saints fan that lives out of market. Ouch.
I'm assuming her ex is an handsome fireman who seems to have plenty of money and free time (where he volunteers to do good int he community) in-spite of his wages, with a family of gold. And your mother is disapproving, high society lady?
I read Iger’s book. Very good read and he went into some of it. Iger saved Disney once. Can he do it again?
Well done ..... My wife watches Hallmark like she’s planning on quitting her lucrative career, moving back to her hometown, leaving me for her high school sweetheart and opening a cupcake bakery.
You must have a heck a deal on cable. The only hold up is the ESPN main channels. You can get HBO and Discovery on MAX for $15 a month, Disney/ESPN+/Hulu (which has the Bachelor) with the Disney+ bundle for $15 a month, Peacock which has Hallmark. Bravo, and NBC shows for $6 a month, and Paramount+ for Yellowstone and CBS shows for $6 a month, which you can cancel when the season is over. That's $36 a month ($42 during Yellowstone season) and covers everything you listed except ESPN main channels.
Lots of good information here that I’m going to check out. With regard to the Disney bundle, we tried to do it awhile back and I don’t remember the details but we were basically told, “Sorry, we can’t do that.” Despite all the advertising to the contrary, we couldn’t get it, and I don’t remember why. Might be worth revisiting.
