i had an idea... they should start a "pick your channels" package.. have customers the chance put pick the actual channels they want.. like a "pick 50 channels for 60 dollars" (premium channels of course a little more).. and if you get the package with Internet you just add 20 dollars to the bill.. and you could "switch out" channels for a fee.. (say you dont watch nba tv because the season is over you can switch it out for MTV or something)... I think they would make a killing off that..

I ain't had cable in years, just pay for internet. and I have "Sling T.V." when I want to games and shit or TWD. But I'm not even in the house enough to watch TV and the shit that be on tv smh, they killing me with the gay themes on every single show

so that sling tv.. that shit streams live sports? espn/tnt??? if so this may be my way to go from now on.

Direct TV does something like this...

Get a hardbdrive, get fast internet, torrent everything you want to watch. Its that easy

lol that's some nerd shyt.. I don't fuck with torrents..

Its a 15 minute process when you first start it up. If thats some complex shit for you you have real low expectations for yourself.

id rather just pay the money than download a bunch of shyt im probably only going to watch once

Holy shit you dumb mutha fucka. Then you would simply delete the show or ep. When i had shitty ass uverse with like 17 mbps i could download a 30 min ep in 10 minutes. Now i have xfinity probably take mr like 3. I dont know why you think this is a difficult or time consuming.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Aint paid for cable since ive moved on my own. Just stream and pay for Netflix/Hulu and considering joining amazon prime.

Waiting for that HBO NOW to come out for PS4. The HBO service you can subscribe to without a HBO cable subscription. Shit will be dope.

You mean other than your list of what you could watch is if i can find a torrent of it. If cable, neflix, hulu, etc takes a certain show down it wouldnt matter cause it's on your harddrive. The show is old and no networks shows it anymore? Doesnt matter its on your hard drive. The streaminy quality for a show is shit? Doesnt matter its on your harddrive in 720-1080p. For whatever reason your cable and internet is off? Doesnt matter cause you have your own collection of shows or backlog to watch.

Many ppl have had that idea. Called "a la carte cable" or something like that. Cable companies and broadcasters fight it tooth and nail.

 

[not_osirus_jenkins]

I pay $67 a month with directv. I went a couple of years with just Netflix and streaming shit. It got old tho.......Netfix ran its course with me and I got tired of the lagging when I watched my basketball and football games. But for $67 I got 4 HD boxes, free nfl sunday ticket, $100 visa gift card and $100 from my mamma's referral.

Nfl Sunday ticket gonna be up. And If YOU personally don't call and cancel it they charge you for it next year. And the prices usually go up by 25% the second year.

then imo cable is soon going to die then... because more and more channels are bringing out apps so you can watch their stuff on other things besides tv..

[Like Water]

I'm finna get this unlocked Amazon Fire stick... Fuck cable, G.Dammit.

 

[illestni99ainne]

I've had a Roku for the past 2 years. Just pay $35 for Internet plus Netflix/Hulu/wwe network and I got my pops username and password for HBO/showtime/stars so I don't pay for those premium channels. I feel I'm winning

 

[willhustle]

U-Verse TV & Internet $151. I have people under my roof which is why I still have cable and for ESPN & TNT for basketball games. If I didn't need cable for sports I would have already gotten rid of cable TV alone. I had to complain about paying $158 a month then I saw last month's bill was $165 because AT&T hiked up fees & surcharges. To me cable TV is a luxury not a necessity. When I was growing up I didn't have cable so that's why I don't see it as a priority as I do the internet.

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

I pay like $60 for time warner. I did the Netflix route for years, but that shit gets fuckin OLD. Shit, i love cable now lol. Cant believe i went so long without it.

 

[aneed123]

Comcast $ 150 a month got the security system internet andxcsble bundle with 3 hd boxes. I need Hbo and Showtime for boxing and starz for power lol When my year up ima threaten to go to uverse if they dont give me a discount

 

[bossdon201]

I just called comcast last week and was ready to cut that shit off then I remembered GOT about to be on in a month. Ended up talking on the phone with the rep for 20 mins about GOT and kept it on smh

 

[Mister B.]

Too fuckin much. 160. But that's cause they lumped this suck-ass phone with it that I haven't used in six months.

I sweaqr, once I figure out how to get love NBA/NFL without cable logins, fuck cable forever.
