I wonder if this will help lower ESPN's carriage fees on DirecTv - Will Hunting Aug 9, 06:14 3
- We could lower our bill by dropping down a tier. That TV is hardly ever on any more. -- nm - kelly Aug 9, 06:57 2
  - We can review - Will Hunting Aug 9, 07:31
  - or you could watch more TV to justify the cost -- nm - decline Aug 9, 07:22
"WE WANT ALA CARTE PROGRAMMING!" - oblique Aug 9, 05:58 14
- This crossed my mind this morning. So many people wanted ala carte and now they get to have multiple sites/apps to watch things instead of one cable box. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 9, 06:07 12
  - Even if we don't get a la carte programming for new shows, I don't see why we can't have it for the same content that's released on DVD. -- nm - mara Aug 9, 06:59 1
    - For example? -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 07:17
  - It will work just fine. Just if you (consumers) thought it would be cheaper to them, they're sorely mistaken -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 06:39 8
    - It's not working right now. There are too many apps as it is and they're only going to add more. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 9, 06:44 7
      - The problem isn't so much the number of apps as that there's no central app to tell you what's new. - Ender Aug 9, 07:04 1
        
        You also have things getting moved from one app to another. Multiple shows have moved from Netflix to Hulu and it'll keep happening as deals change. - Krusty Aug 9, 07:10
      - It is working from their perspective if they're getting subscribers and making money -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 06:49
      - mass expansion soon to be followed by the big guns buying up the small fry and consolidating is my guess - Beaker Aug 9, 06:47 1
        
        Crackle will be a thing! I command it! -- nm - Sony Aug 9, 06:48
      - working in the sense that you can stream almost anything. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 06:46 1
        
        That's true but not my issue today. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 06:50
  - word to your last 3 sentences. -- nm* - Beaker Aug 9, 06:31
