I recently wrote to you about the phenomenon of watching TV where ever and whenever. No need to get the family together to watch a weekly episode of, I don't know what do families get together to watch any more? With all the variety shows gone and Perry Mason a relic, and my family all grown up and onto lives of their own, the ritual of family TV is as old as well, family TV!
Today there is a story in the papers of a new technology that would eliminate the need for free TV. Aereo would allow viewers to watch free TV channels on their devices from i-this to i-that. Sounds great and would be a threat to network TV and all those soap suds ads. It would also be a problem for cable TV. Once very affordable cable costs are outrageous and I am on the verge of trying to piece together my own TV viewing menu. Using Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV and the basic cable package I'm sure I could trim a whopping $4-5 a month off my bill. Quite a savings for the likes of CSI, Law and Order SUV, NCIS, and YES. This would work until the next big thing comes along.
I need to read more.
