Meet Sling TV: Internet TV for $20 a month. Incl. Disney Channel, ESPN, and ESPN2 and more..

[Raiders]

Most of the things you listed have no advertisements

You said "No one is going to make shows if everyone gets it for free" shows live and die depending on the viewers they get so they can sell advertisements...it's big money; ask Google.

My advertisement remark was in relation to the post you were responding to, not my post about the premium services I get for free.

Not sure your end game in all of this but

Im just trying to understand the mindset of people who think like you.
Google makes money off the data which companies pay for, and not advertisement.

Is ESPN worth $20 a month?

Hell yeah it's worth 20 a month. That was the only reason I kept cable on and that was costing me $120 a month.

 

[hood b. goode]

ESPN for 20 a month? and TNT? with the free basic cable channels, that's all the sports I need

How do i think, and what do you want to know exactly?

funny thing is alot of those channels already have an app/website that let you stream their broadcast/watch they shows for free. some require you to provide cable log in info tho.

A lot of people don't think outside the box. They just go with what they know and never question it. That's why cable's model has survived this long and continues to survive even though everything is available for free. And better. The internet shyts all over traditional cable.

The funny thing is, if the industry (tv, hollywood and music) would smarten up and recognize not only what is happening but what could be happening, they could still make a killing, probably with a lot less effort too.

This is an attempt by a company to try a new business model. It's a step in the right direction. But really, this should have been introduced at least 10 years ago. Every one of these executives in these industries should be fired and forced to perform ritualistic Japanese suicides for their ineptitude.

Only thing that sucks is no PS3/ps4 support

 

[winb83]

I want true a la carte. I wish it wasn't an "impossibility."

The problem with that is a lot of the channels people like would die off if they weren't tethered to the most popular channels. If Disney didn't force cable providers to take ABC Family to get a better rate on ESPN and everybody got to pick and choose ABC Family might not even exist anymore (just a made up example)

That's not free. It's like On Demand in that it's part of your cable subscription. The cost is rolled in there.

Haven't found anything that tops Hulu Plus. Get a ID and Password for the premium channels and add Hulu and you pretty much have cable on demand
