Well, I was having thoughts of ditching the DirecTV when this came out...but after reading this...not so much...

If I'm reading this right, you already have to be subscribing to a cable provider for this to work...

...pointless feature is pointless.

What I'd really like to see is a video equivilent of the Zune Pass that they do for music...monthly rate lets me watch whatever I want from the marketplace...I'd pay a good chunk of change for that.

I'm still content with Comcast's HD Digital Starter package. The only thing I miss is MLB Network. But for the price, it is fantastic.

You could spend an extra $5.99/mo for the sports entertainment package and get it.

You get the Red Zone channel with the sports package as well.

NHL Network and NBA TV do anything for you?

I've watched NHL Network in the past but it isn't a go-to for me. Neither is NBA TV. So no, not really. MLB Network and Red Zone I'd have interest in...but I'm trying to think how much I'd even watch those now.

I don't like paying for things I'm not going to use.

The Eurojet TBE will cost me $1300 plus install. Gotta save a buck or two when possible.

I just took out a second mortgage to put a new set of tail lights on my car.

So if one has a bumble-fuck cable outfit (e.g., Mediacom), then all of this news is completely irrelevant, yes?

(though I still don't think there's anything useful to begin with even if one does in fact qualify)
