I like a lot of different types of TV. I want to watch it when I want to watch the content. I've have a 100 hour Ultra HD DVR. Damn thing is filled up at 85% now. Whole series like Get Shorty, Deuce waiting to be watched when I have time. I just resigned up with Fios. Have all their channels that they have available. HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. HD DVR box, router, wireless, 3 TV's and streaming all content online. 100meg internet speed. Usually runs at 120meg. $160 a month. EDIT: I also get unlimited calling through a landline phone. I'm not even sure where a landline connection is in my house. But, I have no interest in buying a landline phone. I was interested that the package was $40 cheaper with the landline IP based phone.

With five out of the top seven publicly traded linear pay TV platforms, including the top three, reporting customer numbers, it appears the industry’s record-bad third-quarter subscriber losses could indeed surpass 1 million users, as some analysts have predicted.
In the past week, Verizon said it lost 18,000 Fios TV users in Q3. AT&T then reported losses of 251,000 for DirecTV and 134,000 for U-verse; on Thursday, Comcast and Charter posted TV customer losses of 125,000 and 104,000, respectively. During the third quarter of 2016, these same companies added a modest 29,000 video users—or 354,000, discounting AT&T’s planned obsolescence for its U-verse IPTV service. Still to report: Altice USA and Dish Network, neither of which have specified an earnings date. Dish is believed to once again have big losses to talk about. Privately held Cox Communications, the third largest U.S. cable operator, also has to be factored into the mix. Two weeks ago, UBS analyst John Hodulik predicted that cable, satellite and telco operators would collectively lose more than 1 million customers in Q3 across their linear platforms. Analysts had predicted the same thing for the second quarter, which is usually the worst three-month period for operators in terms of subscriber growth. http://www.fiercecable.com/cable/cor...orms-reporting |

As with the struggles of Netflix and Hulu - nobody cares if it's unlimited when the content sucks. Neither cable nor any of these services individually are offering enough compelling content to keep people paying. There's a total of 1 TV series that we follow. I have probably VODed 2 or 3 movies this year. Haven't been to a theater since Rogue One. All this and I don't feel like I have missed out on anything. |

Then we see another consolidation just like we saw with cable.

Like you said, original content is going to decide who is the big dog when all this online/streaming dust settles.

I watched the first two episodes of Ozark. Reasonably good so far.

Right now, Hulu really seems like that only one worth the price but when all the networks start doing what CBS is doing Hulu will be gone too.
