[kwlug-disc] OT: Online TV services?

[stuart at lowlevel.ca]

We were paying over $100 and found there was almost nothing worth watching when we were wanting to watch... we also hated the bulky slow and difficult to use cable boxes... when the stars aligned and you did manage to find something to watch, it was interrupted 20 times to play commercials... its pretty obnoxious nowadays to pay $100+/month to watch commercials... they tried to charge us a contract cancellation fee last time we switched off... wife fought that and avoided it thankfully.

I wish we can have a better pricing model. Like we pay $50 for 150 hours of cross platform digital services including cables, Netflix, eBooks, paid online media. If there's a way to keep track of our actual usage, the providers can split the monthly fee.
