New Dish Streaming Effort Likely to be Called 'NuTV'
Janko Roettgers over at GigaOM scoops the news that Dish's long-in-gestation Internet TV effort is likely to use the "NuTV" brand name. The information came courtesy of a series of trademark filings for the new brand, filed for by Dish back in February of this year. Dish boss Charlie Ergen recently stated that the company should launch the service before the end of the year, though securing proper licensing has -- as always -- been a challenge. Rough estimates suggest the service should cost somewhere between $20 to $30, with the company specifically targeting younger cord cutters with the effort.

Content is king

So what content will be exclusive that you cant get on demand from any other service?

Pie in the sky dream of mine is that this would be or have a tier that is commercial free.

Price Tag Suggests Commercial Free?

Although something tells me it's going to have commercials, the price tag suggests commercial free. Granted, it depends on the content but if Netflix can make a profit on $8 or $9/month, Charlie better be drinking gold dust if his stream includes commercials!

No it doesn't cable is over $60 and it's not commercial free. it will just be a streaming version of the channels you already see on cable/satellite commercials and all.

$60/month includes plant maintenance costs. I've read reports that $21/month of that price might be for sports programming.

cable replacement

This isn't going to be a challenger to Netflix or Hulu+, this is going to be live tv channels, thus the higher price point. You'll be able to get them through the internet and not through satellite or cable.

It would be nice if they used HTML 5 and less compressed streaming

Please someone make a high bit rate streaming service for those with 100mbs connections. I would like to view 1080p content that looks really close to a Blu-ray. I would also like it if they ran 100mbs 4k streams, then one could think about paying $20-30 a month for this.

But this is dish we are talking about here, so good picture and them just don't mix at all so no thanks.

4k is pointless. Yes and the 5 rich guys with 4K TVs can take advantage of that. Well assuming they have 100 inch screens. Netflix 4K streams use 6 GB an hour. Most people have caps.

Oh me buying a 55in 4k TV for $1500 makes me rich, okay then learned something new. I want to know the other 4 rich guys so we can have a private jet party.

If you don't own one or did than please don't trash it because you just don't know what your talking about.

If caps were such a freaking big deal then why does steam and the POS it is do so well with up to 50GB per game?
