Agreed....

There are only a few reasons I could see this service being useful. Other than that, it is essentially charging you money for something that is freely available and needlessly chips away at people's caps. I don't see the point.

A few years ago no one would know what you meant when you said "caps"...

OTA is freely available too, but 100 million people PAY for cable.

My family outside of netflix/amazon, etc watch about 90%+ TV (which is very little) of which is broadcast. The other 10% is a show or two, which if I really wanted could buy on itunes.

So if you use this as a cloud DVR (you could watch remotely), supplant w/ Netflix and the like you could have a good deal 90% of your programming for $20/month. Once you have to pay $2 an episode, you may think twice about how good it is.

For this to work it has to support GTV, ATV, and Roku. Maybe they make a deal w/ Samsung or the like. Tablets is the other method.

So for those who have caps (I do not) this may not be a good deal if you have 5 people streaming in the house.

So the limit is caps, not need. The point is if they use this as a cloud DVR, then there is no reason they couldn't add regular TV on there also and make a deal with cableco...

If you think about it a network DVR is going to set you back $20/month or more anyways, and that is for zero content....
