After you hand Comcast your money, you can also watch their content on your phone or tablet, anywhere, both live and on-demand. You can also use the phone or tablet to access what's on your DVR. Comcast is actually doing a good job of making it quite easy to watch the content on any device.
- lotsofpulp 10y agoI haven't looked it up in a long time, but I don't think it's as easy as Netflix. Also, I want zero ads, not just the ability to stream. It's a business model problem, and the entertainment model media providers offer is just not comparable to what is available on the internet. Currently, I don't think the interest of Comcast's shareholders is the same as mine, they want to protect and grow their existing revenue streams, which depend on ads and outdated licensing contracts. My interest is to watch what I want, when I want, with as little friction as possible. Netflix and HBO provide that, none of the other big media companies do. Also, Comcast has an interest in opposing net neutrality and providing a shitty internet experience so as to support their dying ad and TV business, so I also don't wish to support them for those reasons.
