Re: Not in 2017, but soon ...
@JohnBarnes - Is the future you are imagining kind of an offshoot of Neil Patrick Harris' creation of Dr. Horrible? Which is now on Netflix, but originially streamed indpendently. Would these people potentially be launching their own original series on a platform like YouTube? Or have their own? Just curious about what your thoughts are.

Re: Transformation for 2017
@dc We seem to be adding more (no rotating services). We're still far from paying as much as for cable, but the costs are adding up.

Re: Transformation for 2017
@elizabethv There are some interesting services coming along, serving niche markets that could be real revenue generators.
One example is the 60 Minutes streaming service. It's 99 cents a month or $9.99 for the whole year and allows you to watch whichever segments you want to whenever. Also has access to the entire archive of segments. Seems like a good deal.

@dcawrey:
Good to know about your preference with amazon prime.
I am settled with Netflix for so long now.
Re: Transformation for 2017
It surely is interesting to know that you never used Netflix so far. Only reason i say so is because it is one of the old ones which ahs been around for long time when there were not many choices in past.
Re: 2017 Transformation
At home our first choice always has been Netflix for very long time. We do rotate to different options for regional choices from time to time.

@ ms. akkineni It's not that surprising as I have never had much interest in television. My sister got me a $30 Netflix card so I guess I'll start a trial account.

Re: Transformation for 2017
Viewing outside the planned network schedule is a bit odd at first, but becomes perferable to commercial filled time slots. Also, Netflix is buying more and more original series. I hear some of these are really good (still no commercials).

Re: Transformation for 2017
@dc I wasn't aware of this service -- it must be great for 60 Minutes super fans. 99 cents a month is quite a deal!
AT&T + TW
It's funny how pundits have widely different takes on the impact of Trump's election on the proposed AT&T/Time Warner deal. Some point to Trump's on-the-record antipathy for added regulations as a sign of hope for the megadeal -- completely ignoring what others have pointed to: that Trump has out-and-out said that he would work to block the deal (as well as block -- and possibly even work to undo -- others).
Of course, candidates say a lot of things during their campaigns that never come to fruition. We shall see.
