The Management posted:even when you give them the cable provider info, you will need to use a different lovely app for each channel that has some episodes of some shows for some span of time. total clusterfuck but no. instead i have to call up verizon to find some username and password combo that i never use and may have never even chosen

a great number of people continue to pay 60+ USD per month for cable or satellite tv despite having an internet connection and streaming devices. this is how monopolies exist in 2016, op

Optimum/Cablevision have a "cord cutters" package that is just another first 2-year gimmick package and aside of now charging for modem rental the pricing structure is more than double the price of Internet under "triple play". Dish has stepped up to the plate to fix the US's hosed up anti-loyality pricing scheme with the monthly charge including taxes and being fixed, however they're only targeting DirectTV in their advertising and should also hit out at the cable companies. Shame they only do TV

Dish has their Sling TV service or whatever, but it seems pretty cool. it's like a $20/month service and you get to stream a handful of channels like espn through your existing internet service i guess it doesn't fix loyalty pricing because you still have to pay comcast for internet, but cool nonetheless

the triple play being the same cost as standalone Internet is before local taxes on tv broadcast, taxes associated with the landline (911, USF, other poo poo) and a minimum of one monthly rental fee for a TV box often im also a fan of Verizon's $5 "privacy fee" where they'll list your landline number in the phone book for more telemarketing exposure unless you pay them $5/extra us broadband/tv service is a loving gouge

if you have your own router for verizon fios you can no longer order the service online without a $10/month router rental tied to the order, you have to call in and have them manually submit an order without it

Even when 4k becomes de facto I would think that h.265 means the real bandwidth requirements would not be much greater.

i think were paying like 120 a month after taxes and fees and everything for 100/100 and the mid tier tv package (plus the phone but lol landline) thats kinda pricey but my fiancé absolutely must have tv so she can just put something on as background noise, she refuses to "find something to watch" on netflix or whatever. i was thinking about getting a sling box since we have the upload, it would be nice for my mom to be able to get cable for free. the only problem is sling box is an abortion and there are no alternatives. they literally do not have a native app for apple tv, roku, etc. you have to have a mobile device and then airplay/cast it to your tv what a load of garbage

why does your life partner just turn on the radio for some "background noise". it's very economical.
