Remember NPD said Pay TV channels lost 6% of Internet household subs in the last 2 years. HBO and SHO say NO WAY! HBO says it added 1.9 million subs in 2012. SHO said it has added 1 million a year in 6 of last 7 years. NPD Group removed the press release from its website and issued a "data clarification" statement on Wednesday that said it "should not have called out declines in subscribers for specific premium TV channels, HBO and Showtime." fewer households are subscribing overall, but those households that are subscribing are subscribing to more premium channels.
App/Game Store possible -- 9to5 Mac’s sources say next Apple TV will still be a set-top box coming first half 2014. New OS like iOS 7. Previously sources indicated possible new input methods like motion control. iLo8unge reported possible gaming content.

Dispatches From The Front

Hey Brian and Tom,
I know the movie draft is over but i noticed they re-released Gravity into theaters. As a result Casey is now within 10mil of taking 2nd place from Justin so by the end of this weekend it could be very close. I would say this is more evidence that the draft is fine staying the way it is. That there is no need to split up movies.
Thanks really enjoy the show,
Nathan


Purchasing streaming media isn't always the best decision me thinks. Let's say for example I want to watch the first season of "Person of Interest" Let's use Amazon Prime, as an example of the provider of said content. I can buy the full season from Amazon Instant for $40 Or, I can buy the DVD set from Amazon for $19. Yea, I have to wait two days to watch, but I save $21 and I have hard copies with re-sale value. There is no value in a "instant video" purchase. I can understand 30 or 40 dollars for a season currently in the process of airing, but for previous seasons? No way! If Netflix, Prime, and Hulu remain somewhat limited in mainstream variety, and Instant video remains costly, I wonder; that as cord-cutting increases, will disc media sales also begin to increase?

Hey guys,
I'm Zaz: a big fan and patreon of the show. I'm also a product manager for SideReel and would love your feedback on our Cord-Cutting Guide. Our hope is to help our users navigate some of the many hardware and service options out there and maybe even expand to include options outside the U.S. Let me know what you think!
Great job on the new episodes -- I'm so glad you found a way to continue!

Another reason to hope Aereo wins it case in the US Courts:
So the networks go off the public airways (like they said they would) and they can stop bleeping every other word on award shows.

Hey Killers... I have questions that haunt me and I needs answers.
The premise: I have a cable account or OTA, I have a DVR or even a DVD Recorder. (for arguments sake). With that said....
Lets say I wanna watch a show either on an OTA or Cable. The logical side of my brain says I have a right to do the following:
Watch the show, live when shown
Watch the show on its numerous re-runs (if available)
Record the show via any device including a DVD recorder or DVR.
Keep this recording as long as I want.
Watch this recorded show as many times as I want.
Copy this recording to any device I choose.
I have almost unlimited rights once the content is available on my T.V. (whether I watch it, tape it, DVR it or not). I paid for the right to watch it. Didn't I?
Is the fact I didn't watch it when it was shown or forgot to record it negate my rights to it?
With all these rights, how are these rights taken away if I watch this show online, on any site legal or not. I paid for the right to not only watch these shows but also record them and store them for future use. The fact that I didn't watch it when it was shown or DVR it when it was on, didn't I still pay for the right to watch it?
Ever since Frame Rate this question has haunted me.
No one can watch and record the 200+ channels available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Am I not entitled to watch every show on T.V? Doesn't my cable subscription pay for this? I am pretty sure I am being charged for 200+ channels, I should have the right to watch every one of them, is how I watch them the issue, if so why?
Discuss!
Sorry so long, condense for the show.
A CordKiller Fan,
Ron
