    Lol all this time these media companies have had to change their models to align with market forces, we’ve watched them hem and haw, drag their feet, etc. this step shows they never wanted things to change at all, and they have the power and the money to keep change from happening. finally we see them at their end game, harnessing the Internets power for something so tiny. To them, the only benefit to this technology is cutting out the middleman and b bringing able packages to you without negotiations with a cable service.

    Their minds are so small, but this and worse is their greatest dream. It’s a terrible, venal world that small minds lead us to isn’t it?

      And with channels and continuous running shows comes more potential for commercials which will always be the end goal…
