I agree with the basic sentiment expressed here. I don't currently have a TV subscription but am looking into getting one to watch the local news, HBO and some basketball and hockey. The current streaming services don't seem to be very competitive comparatively, with a basketball/hockey streams charging $150 per year each alone for what could be a low quality, spotty service. I hope streaming drastically improves in the near future. It's pretty frustrating to want a relatively small set of programming and yet be forced to pay for tens of channels you'll never look at through basic cable + add on premium packages. With that being said, I did see something recently about cable changing here in Canada soon to cap basic cable at $25 per month and other channels have to be available separately and not in packages, which could make streaming even less competitive.
