Re: Xfinity
Exactly!

I think I've mentioned before, I use AT&T Uverse, just because it was the only internet option offered other than the one through my area's cable company.

I'm not even sure that it's any cheaper or better, I just didn't like feeling like I have to give one cable company my money - even if I choose to be a cord-cutter!

Re: Cord Cutter Statistics
I bet it's similar with Game of Thrones for HBO as well!

I considered un-cordcutting so I could get BBC America and watch Doctor Who, but it ends up being less money to just buy full seasons on iTunes in the long run.

Re: Xfinity
I think Roku has started working towards this. They let you search for titles across all their "channels", I believe.

(Netflix's recommendations always just has stuff already in my queue. Plus my viewing history got mucked up when my mom and her boyfriend watched a bunch of cheesy kid movies with his grandkids!)

Re: Xfinity
What's really missing from OTT services is discovery. Yes, Netflix is able to reccomend certain things after you've watched content. And there is also search. But I don't think this has been developed enough. While on cable systems you're dealing with channels and grids to find something, I don't think either cable or OTT has really innovated the discovery of video content. At least not yet.

Re: Cord Cutter Statistics
@John you're probably right about that. I hadn't thought of the implications of smaller creator content finding the right billing method/service. That could be a major disruption.

Re: comcast hunt
From a content perspective, they are somewhat in the drivers' seat especially as they pull off the proposed Dreamworks Animation acquisition.    That would be quite a feat in my view.

Re: comcast hunt
@clrmoney Comcast is saying that from technology and content rights perspectives, it could offer a nationwide OTT service, but the point is it chooses not to go out of its footprint at this time.

I hate Comcast. But you can't blame them for not jumping on the OTT bandwagon if they don't need to. It sounds like they have pretty viable alternatives for their customers (definitely more than DirecTv had when I was looking at leaving them. Now that I'm gone, I have to tell them I don't want to come back every 3 months or so when they call me with some new "offer." You have to try to appeal to the demographic that wants to be able to watch their TV when it's convenient. If Comcast is already doing that, why bother with a true OTT?
