I didn't say I cared if it's available. If this is an exciting idea to someone else then I hope it works out for them.
Back when CableCARD was a new idea, I was excited. It was the right time for such a thing to exist, but it never took off. Missed opportunity. But I think the opportunity is lost now and we'd be better served moving on to a new model, something that builds off the streaming boxes we have now (though the UX needs a lot of work, and possibly a new paradigm nobody's thought of)
- tw04 11y agoI think most people would pass on cable if given the option, but I don't see them letting go of their stranglehold on the major sports in the US anytime soon. I guess if you aren't a sports fan it's probably not a big deal.
- ascagnel_ 11y agoThe major sports are starting to come around. The MLB spun out their streaming product (into MLBAM) and signed a deal with the NHL to stream the game broadcasts and both are actively working on renegotiating the streaming deals with their member clubs to get rid of local blackouts.
