When you do that the only channels not on Blue are ESPN, 2 and Disney. It is rigged so you need both. Cost for both $45 Thanks.... I'll tread carefully. RE: An Analysis of TV OTT Platforms - TerryD - 06-18-2017 07:37 AM I have Sling for $40/month, plus Amazon Fire Stick, Kodi and an OTA antenna. Good to go.

If/when local channels are added in the future I would expect to see a $10 increase and upgrade from the slim pack to include your noe available local channels. To some people it's worth the increase. To others it might not be We've had PS Vue for about 3 months, and love the price. In addition, regarding local channels: 1) You are charged for local channels according to the number of local channels available. Not every local channel is available in every market. For example, the rate in Houston is less than the rate in Dallas-Fort Worth, since fewer network affiliates are available with PS Vue in Houston at this time. 2) You receive local channels based on your IP address. I live in the Houston DMA, but my internet provider's IP is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth DMA. So, we receive Dallas local channels via PS Vue (except ABC). That's fine with me, as I'm a Cowboy fan and would rather watch them than the Texans. For sports, I can use the WatchESPN app to pull in sports events shown on ABC. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, FS1, FS2, and Fox Sports Southwest are available on our package with PS Vue. I also have access to the Fox Sports Go app. RE: An Analysis of TV OTT Platforms - solohawks - 06-24-2017 01:41 PM http://deadline.com/2017/06/cbs-teams-fubotv-deal-offer-live-vod-streaming-1202117456/ CBS and CBS sports net coming to Fubo tv in July.

So calling someone on Whatsapp instead of paying a telecom company for a telephone call is also "OTT".

It's like I said in another thread, all the major pay TV companies and wireless companies are going to come together into three or four mega brands. - AT&T is already solidified, with its acquisition of DirecTV - Verizon is still out there without having acquired a major payTV company yet (I think Dish & Sling make a lot of sense ... perhaps renaming Sling to "DISH Now") That leaves Charter and Comcast, on the payTV side, and Sprint and TMobile on the wireless side. Perhaps the "staying alive" strategy of payTV could actually be to link it to wireless. IE, just like wireless carriers now essentially force you to have a data plan ... maybe they'll just start forcing people to have a TV plan on top of that, with no data usage for streaming TV on mobile devices in the plan?

As always, bundling is their best bet to get more $$$ per customer.

Seems the could start up new viewing experiences with the wireless companies (i.e. Mobile TV). Suck for the 1,000 or so TV Stations that have to relocate to channels 36 or lower. http://fortune.com/2017/04/19/tv-stations-channels-faq/ However, the article also states the 4k broadcasting could be sped up...they will really boost up the OTA stations for those that can afford the equipment to broadcast in uncompressed 4k. Most antennas sold already are 4k ready. RE: An Analysis of TV OTT Platforms - MplsBison - 07-06-2017 01:52 PM The spectrum "channel" (frequency range) nowadays doesn't have to be the same as the TV channel (number). So "Channel 45" branded TV station can actually be located at "channel" 22 in frequency, while your TV is "tuned" to 45.1. |
