      And the ability to watch on-demand instead of waiting for something to pop up or constantly checking guides to see when something might be on.

        After more than 20 years of DVRs and on-demand content it seems really weird to me that anyone watches broadcast content (other than sports) anywhere other than waiting rooms.

      And it’s still cheaper than cable. Cable companies always advertise their introductory rates, but never the real ones.

        Absolutely, since HBO and a bunch of other streaming options are add ons.

        My in laws have cable and it is $200+ for just the channels that we get streaming for under $100, and sports. Sports are apparently worth over $100 a month even with all the ads across all channels.
