It's shows exactly why shyt would not work. :heh:

It's cheaper overall if your a wwe fan but that's just one company

Imagine Disney charging $10 for Disney content and then another $10 for all ESPN stuff

Want to watch the walking dead what are you gonna do except pay AMC $5 a month or wait a year until it hits netflix

Some people are too cheap to pay for netflix and bum off someone else and that's only 7.99

You guys have no idea how expensive aka carte is :heh:

With that said fukk cable companies
Sharing is caring breh

Yeah they'd love to charge you $10 a channel. Nobody gets rates like that on regular cable. $60 used to get you over 100 channels soon it'll get you 6.

If we get a la carte, won't companies just fukk us with higher internet bills ?

good replies across the board here...it sounds way better than one would think, because of how expensive it gets

Lets say I have a roku or console with the following...2 sports packages, and i'll try and not replicate services based on what they provide.

Netflix 7.99/mo
WWE - 9.99
MLB.TV - $115/yr; lets call it $10/mo
NFL Sunday Ticket - $18/mo (lets call it $15 because they always have deals)
HBOGO - $10 [safe to say this is the industry sweetspot for pricing]
Youtube - $0

Lets fast forward, and say this model kicks off.

NBCUniversalPackage - $15 (lets say it gets you NBC, NBC Sports, USA, E!, and their entire family of networks)
DISNEY - (ABC/ESPN/Disney Channels) - $15

so lets just stop there

$86/mo without any additional fees, and you have to pay more for internet; add $50 to that at least.

$136 dollars

is this better?

so is this just an on demand service with ppvs or all that in addition to regular scheduled programming? personally, I like the latter. I don't always want to go hunting for something good on tv. id like to be pleasantly surprised.

that's pretty good though :manny:
136 dollars will get you a bundle deal for a few months then it will jump to like 150-170 plus tax it will all work out to about 200 dollars for a good package. There is other things that can get thrown into the mix as well and the fact that lots of the time you have to sign a contract. With buying online packages you can pick and choose which ones you would like and you can cancel any time. There is also tons of promos and other deals to find with those online packages. Like NBA had a 40% off deal for the mobile streaming service at christmas for the rest of the year that's a good ass deal. You can pick up things like that to make it cheaper, there is no promo code you can use to get a company to immediately lower your bill. The WWE service will have deals like that too where it could work out to like 5 bucks a month for half a year or something.

See but again and no offense to you or the other sports heads yall assume everyone watches as much sports as yall, taking away your two sports packages and the nbc one (replace it with hulu plus which has a lot of there shows) and taking away the abc one (there is a Netflix kids which replaces Disney ) and you can still get all your abc /nbc programming for free OTA (over the air) and adding your $50 a month Internet which I think is the perfect price you get

-Netflix $8
-hulu plus $8
-wwe network $10
-HBOgo $10
-Internet $50

= $86 a month, if you wanna get creative replace wwe with something like http://www.ballstreams.com/ which gives you on demand HD NBA (tested by coli brehs, ) for $8 month

Just a question but how does this effect cable? FOr like $200. You get about 600 channels. And Internet. You can watch live tv on your mobile devices. Is it like the cool thing to hate cable?

You happy you get like 8 streaming internet depended channels for $86 and choppy OTA channels? That's not a bargain.
