lol this is why I switched back to cable. all the internet tv companies are gonna keep jacking up prices until they're basically at cable prices, but with buffering, poor interfaces, goofy remote, and no local channels.

went back to cox and am happy

Agreed. If the price is anywhere close to the same, I want the connection to be hardwired in, not wifi. We all see the posts in the GoT threads, where people complain of HBO Now freezing. Even a 2 second glitch is something you don't want to deal with, in a 1st release of an episode, or in a big sporting event. Not when you know you won't have that on Cable.

And being able to choose content channels too specifically will be counterproductive to the market. Everyone wants HBO for GoT right now... but I wouldn't have paid for History Channels specifically a few years back. And then Vikings came out, and suddenly I had that in the rotation of "must see TV".
