No, Xbox One Won't 'Revolutionize TV' Either → MS made a huge mistake with the x-box one.

The mistake to me is obvious. Users want to move away from huge cable bills. Netflix has made this obvious: people are more into "on demand" than paying for channels.
On demand is where it's at. this is where they could actually make something "revolutionary".
Everything I've seen assures me that this is the same crap we've had for decades, but "smarter".

This isn't Microsoft's "mistake." It's the entertainment industry that is causing the transition to on-demand, streaming content to be slow and painful. We have the technology to do exactly what you (and I and most people) want, but you must have cooperation from those who hold the rights to the content that we want.

Until "on demand" and streaming reach the same quality level as broadcast I'm not going to bother.

I think it is. They are playing along instead of sticking to their guns. Cable Television is an obsolete technology. I guess you could argue they are doing this simply because they can.
And it's sort of a good argument, since from a technology perspective there's really not that much of a challenge in supporting cable TV.

The problem to me is that something better came along, and it's cheaper and superior in almost every way.

What people? You? a friend? Youre not reffering to the 100Million Pay TV subscribers in this country.

the Cable / sat Television system works good for live events / sports and news.
