Reply #34: Soon, none of this will matter.

Broadcast TV, cable TV, and satellite TV are *ALL* on the cusp of
imploding, so soon, none of this will matter.

We're at the point where the Internet is starting to deliver enough
bandwidth to our homes that we can all watch streaming video, and
soon, streaming HD video. At *THAT* point, the whole model for the
current television providers completely collapses. Why watch the
bullshit you're currently forced to watch on (say) "The Nazi Channel",
err, "The History Channel", complete with 20 minutes of commercials
every hour when you could instead watch precisely the program you
want to watch when *YOU* want to watch it?

Sure, you may have to pay for it, but the $50-$100/month you're
no longer spending on your cable/satellite bill will buy a lot
of paid content.

Mark my words: TV as we know it is dead except as a way to reach
the poor and the ignorant.
