Cable doesn't have to die. It just needs to do what Google TV does and make it easier to find and watch content on one's own schedule.

I don't have a TiVo because my cable DVR does everything I need to do. I only need Google TV if it gives me something cable doesn't. Right now it does. Next year it may not.

Google has recognized and filled a need. Cable will follow along and do the same eventually.

That's great for you. The cable network doesn't get paid if you don't watch your show within 48 hours, though. - David Nov 8, 10:44 2
- That's their problem. It isn't without solutions. - TWuG Nov 8, 10:49 1
  - Right and their problem's solution is to cut Google TV at the knees, which they've done and which is why it's a trainwreck. -- nm - David Nov 8, 10:50
