I asked my questions in a "dupe" thread so reposting here. From TV to internet to TV on internet to internet TV on any devices. One thing I wonder about is how people who purchase "bundles" traditionally will react. I'd imagine they are the biggest consumer of TV programs. (TV + INTERNET or TV + Phone + Internet style bundles). Will it end up costing the same when you break you bundle to only get internet from a provider and get "TV" from Youtube? Another question I have is about the "cloud DVR". How does it work? Is the content already in a server somewhere so when I hit the "DVR" it just tags that? It makes no sense saving the same content multiple time because multiple people tried to DVR the same episode right? Is lot of the modern TV already through internet? If not, won't this cause an increase in internet bandwidth used? Maybe it's no significant but i'm curious about it none the less. There was a talk on HN about cell phones and FM being enabled on it. Will a similar thing happen on TV, i.e my TV won't work without internet in the future? Does privacy concerns increase with this? Is it easier to track users view patterns and what not with this as opposed to traditional tv? Will it be more likely that people will post the episodes or clips they watch to youtube or will it be less common as it will be even easier for youtube to recognize and flag stuff? (I wonder if youtube will provide a tool to post tiny clips directly from TV so people can have discussions and what not as well). Thanks in advance if anyone takes time to answer any of my question!

So you'll have to Re-DVR it when/if air's again i guess? Makes more sense for people already paying for youtube red I guess? Creators on youtube red might get more traffic too possibly.

Will it end up costing the same when you break you bundle to only get internet from a provider and get "TV" from Youtube? Yes, resistance is futile. ESPN won't accept less money per viewer "because Internet". It makes no sense saving the same content multiple time because multiple people tried to DVR the same episode right? There are some convoluted and non-intuitive legal precedents about this topic, but yeah, Google is probably only keeping one copy. won't this cause an increase in internet bandwidth used? Yes, bandwidth usage has increased significantly in recent years, probably faster than Moore's Law.
