Harry, I agree. But, I dropped my Comcast completely. When they asked why I was dropping, I explained that I only watched the programs I want to see (channel surfing is not my idea of watching TV), and that meant I was watching cable at $6 an hour. I asked if I could pay a small fee for each program I wanted to see, and I was told that wouldn’t be possible. So, no cable — one month and counting.

I’m happy very happy, this is the end of the cable era. I dont have cable and I still rely on ( LoggTV.com ) for good movies and music. Sorry, I wont pay for TV or Downloads. FTA Satellite is a good option too.

I like the idea of getting the content I want instead of packages the networks want to sell me. Additionalyl, Time Warner is over priced in my area– $50 for internet; another $50 for basic cable– no discount. $50 plus $30 (to Apple) for the content I want sounds almost worth doing.

If the goal was to pick off the dollars that customers currently allocated towards pay-channels; namely, HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc. it might work if for no other reason than when Tablet comes out you could have a TV anywhere offering to view same content on iPhone, Tablet, Desktop and Apple TV for one price.

I do agree with others, though, that it sets up somewhat of an ALL-or-NONE as to whether same price includes Movies/TV and Music.

Some fodder on this one in my post:
