OTT bundles will cost as much or more than regular cable subscriptions http://www.rapidtvnews.com/2014112336161/ott-bundles-will-cost-as-much-or-more-than-regular-cable-subscriptions.html

Yes. Silent Majority saw you were full of it with no idea of reality. Even with this latest post....here's reality: A La Carte and Sticker Shock A la carte content supporters could be in for a rude price awakening - See more at...

Ok....let's see your link for their operational budget for you to be making claims like that (knowing that you have no clue but are making assumptions, just like you are making assumption that the price was $49).

I've watched Pam Anderson on TV since the early 90s. I've probably had tens of thousands of conversations about her, yet I have never met anyone that has ever met her. Yet I know she exists. Your point? (and check the next post after your original post).

Netflix and Hulu et al refuse access to the Servers for audited info. Again, with the PPM technology from Arbitron, that will not matter soon. Nielsen already has a deal in place to use the Facebook API that everyone using Facebook or on a website that has a Facebook link (in other words, the...

Clearly you have NO idea how the sample is recruited.

They use diaries in smaller markets and to supplement the electronic meters in several sweep periods. The majority of Americans are covered by the meters.

You mean the $100 monthly fee? If too many got in on the $49 fee, they would not have enough to repay the bonds. And if not enough sign up, they have to raise the rates yet again.

You clearly seem to be the one that needs to think. You do realize that someone eventually has to pay the bonds? Hey the USA is only $18 Trillion in debt. Sure, let's just put more on the books that will have to be paid off down the road, while paying interest out along the way. The Interest...

Wow....wow oh wow.. A city with 26,667 households is putting in Internet in its town of 22 Square Miles. It's $50 a month -the lowest in the state. In other words, all others are higher....and speaking of higher...$50 is only good if you sign up immediately when available. If you do not, the...

Where to start. *sigh* First, there are approximately 100,000,000 (100M) homes in the USA that subscribe to a MVPD out of the roughly 114M TV Households in the 2015 season. The number you saw of 2.72 Million was either for (1) a single program or (2) an average for the week, meaning at ANY...

After the customer pays thousands and thousands via taxes to get the system built in the first place...(and continues to pay it in addition to the $49 a month, but like you, is short sighted and does not include it).

I do not disagree that $180 is a year (or $15 a month) is substantial for many - no matter what their income level. However, on the other site that shall not be mentioned where the ops and mods make stuff up as they go and delete stuff when they are proven wrong, a person worked out the...

Applying for jobs probably does take you into many businesses. Hope you find something soon so you can enter the real world and find out that things cost money. Life isn't free.

We've seen how good your guesses are.

And I never said that Dish did not have enough information to make decisions about what their subs wanted. In fact, I suspect that Dish would create a DOS attack on itself if it had all the internet connected units trying to "call home" at once. Sony ended up doing the same exact thing on...

There are only 114M TV Households in the USA this year and only roughly 100M MVPD subscribers. Again, we see how knowledgeable you are. And to answer your question 0% can "receive" TV over the internet. If your question is how many TV Households have some type of connection to the Internet...

Ok, you want to talk about broad strokes? Dish customers have lower household income and have less available money than DirecTV customers. They live in lower priced homes and spend less money on disposable items than DirecTV. Dish subs also have lower credit scores. If you want advertisers...

You are correct that Nielsen has issues - and yes, I even have issues with Nielsen. Nielsen has other options now with the PPM technology it acquired from Arbitron that will do away with all these issues. It was recently tested for TV in Chicago this past Quarter. ESPN is already using its...

Disney moved MNF to ESPN before retransmission was paying about what than the average cable channel was getting....mere pennies. The only reason the others still have them is because of Broadcast TV finally getting the higher re-transmission dollars. Les Moonves recently said he could include...

Slingboxes do not know what you are watching.

C-Span is essentially free. Funded by the Cable Companies. And to be perfectly honest, I understand how you feel, but Fox News has been almost nothing but pre-recorded shows or fill in hosts over the past 2 weeks - so you did not miss much. They clearly gave the majority off and did not have...

Should we list all the statements that Politicians made that never get acted on when they are in office? Remember the promise that all bills would be posted on the White House Website and left for people to comment for 3 days before the President Signed? That one was broken within hours of...

Suggest you monitor the "phone call". After a successful connection, the few seconds it takes to transmit the info cannot transmit the granular data the way you suggest at the low baud rates landlines can connect at. It is primarily used for PPV/VOD billing of what has been watched. I...

Gosh, maybe a Community Organizer can get right on that.....you know, like the "Yes We Can" Community Organizer 15 years ago who found out "No He Could Not".
