Re: More channels/companies will do this Yes, but it is not simply a price increase to cover their losses, they use these "enhancements" to make a bit of a profit themselves. Granted, it's not as convenient as slapping a widget onto their set-top-boxes and raising the "rental" fees for these devices, but this is a partnership, not just a money-making scheme by the content providers.
Comcast is able to make money from this format as well, it's just indirect and not as obvious. |

New Orleans, LA | I am just suspect about what our enhancement actually is and how much the price increase would be
If we are getting ALL HBO shows at our fingertips or something like that (which I would love)....then I guess I understand a minimal increase
But I just suspect that we as customers will get little OR will get what we originally had but packaged as "new" and a nice hike as well |
