Re: [iO] Why do people complain about IO pricing?
It's programming, not pricing, that sends most people to satellite. If you are a football nut, NFL Sunday ticket is exclusive to DirecTV. If you want Urdu, Farsi, Tagalog, Armenian and other International programming, Dish Network is the place. For me, some of the Dish Network channels I like that are not available on Cablevision include the 10 Voom high definition channels, HDNet and HDNet movies, BBC America, and the Sirius satellite radio music channels. |

1 edit | Both satellite companies have a much better selection of programming. Cablevision does not, and once you start going into iO gold and then end up paying $5 a month on top of the iO gold to get HBO on Demand, etc... it starts becoming expensive.
iO gold would be a killer package if they made it include all of the Video On Demand and interactive stuff for the same price... or if they made the sports pack "free" with iO gold. People would then have incentives to upgrade.... kind of like DirecTV... if you subscribe to their most expensive package, they will not charge you the 4.99 DVR fee. They also don't charge per DVR on your account either... so if you have their minimum package, you will pay the DVR fee, but you can have 10 DVR's and they will only charge you the mirroring fee... they wont charge you for the DVR service... |
