Who wants to fuck around with the internet when you can have cable.

Cable is a much better alternative if not cheaper.

But I'm not a cheap fucker....

The first two points can easily be debated.

It's really not that hard to click on a link.

When cable/satellite offers a package for $40/mo is when the Browns win the Super Bowl.

Cable is a much smoother no fuss system.

I guess if you are a child of the smart phone it's all good.

I prefer simple served up TV.

Are you still using dial up? ;)

I don't know. It's awful easy for me to open an internet browser and click on a bookmark that takes me right to a stream.

Hank, analog guy in a digital world.

Hey Hank, are you a Shaw customer, because if you are and have upgraded to Bluesky (mine is coming Saturday), then you're actually getting your channels via the interweb.

I'm not on Blue Sky.

But if this "wonderful" new streaming service will not allow me to record/watch 6 games at once, pausing to go to the next game, etc, then it is a step backwards.

Because Sunday Ticket and my 6 barrelled Gateway allowed me to do just that.

A stream, but 6 at once?

No computer anywhere near my TVs at the moment, no smart TVs as they are still working perfectly and are 10 years old, all plasma units.

Nope it's the same outcome as Gateway, just fancier (voice controlled remote!) but as an ex Shaw employee was filling me in about it yesterday, they avoid a huge amount of data backlog, because in effect everything is on demand. So instead of pumping out all that info to your home 24/7, it only sends you what your remote is requesting (or you order via VOD). Less bandwidth = more profit.

Just thought it'd stick in your craw to know that your beloved 'cable' is now becoming an online vehicle like everything else.
