Helping to spread the joy of cord cutting?I can't help but think that handing out free OTA antennas might be contributing to their own eventual demise. | |

Re: Helping to spread the joy of cord cutting?If they could (maybe they can I dont know) incorporate the OTA antenna and signal into their box which would allow for transparent guide and DVR capabilities that would make it still very compelling for users that want more than just OTA content.
Maybe they should work on getting that to happen so they can just flat out not carry any OTA signals and just have it incorporated in that way for all stations. That would lessen the strangle hold the OTA stations have. | |

TiVo does this already for models that have OTA tuners. | |

One day, someone will invent wireless TV and we won't need cables. | |

Glad to see TWC not giving in to CBSHopefully all cable operators follow suit. If not, the rates will continue to go up.
A lot of people can't pick up CBS with an antenna, in my opinion TWC should be getting $$ from CBS to use their cable system to deliver the channel. | |

Re: Glad to see TWC not giving in to CBSYup, I don't understand why TWC needs to pay CBS. I actually think CBS should pay TWC for delivering contents.
I live in NYC, the signals are strong here. | |

Re: Glad to see TWC not giving in to CBSOnce upon a time, it did exactly that. Not only that, but hour long TV shows were 50 minutes. Now you're lucky to get 40 minutes. | |

The rates will go up anyway. You think TWC will charge the same price every year? This is all a big show to justify a big rate increase that TWC wants anyway. They're just doing their best not to blame their own profit motives. | |

Cracks beginning to form...The cracks in the legacy TV model are beginning to form... As much as people loathe Time Warner Cable, should TWC be the front-runner in al la carte channel packages, I think *most* all would be forgiven.
Giving out Antennas means this isn't going to end anytime soon. I bet TWC wins this... but ultimately, the customers will win. | |
