RE: HBO cutting the cord next year, will compete head to head with Netflix
Then on top this this here is what the cable cutters are missing. Let's say we have a (normal) American family Father, Wife, son, and daughter.
Dads favorite channels - ESPN, ESPN 2, some random westerns channel, ESPN 3, FX, ABC, and the food channel.
Moms favorite channels - WE, E, VH1, BET, HBO, Fox, NBC,
Sons favorite channels Cartoon Network, MTV, ScFy,
Daughters favorite channels - Disney, Nickelodeon, Disney XD, ABC Family,
The family has a 1080 tv or a 4k tv. They also have a subcription to netflix. They also like to go to the movies or redbox from time to time. Internet cost $45 a month for 30megs with a 300gb data cap.
Your spending $50 before you even talk about channels..... Disney would just lump all it's networks together for like $20, then say you want ScFy, or Fx? Your bill will quickly escalate to near $150 to using limited internet capabilities.
Everyone could not watch TV at the same time.
