Rumor: Sony Forming Broadband TV Service

I haven't had cable for 2 years. I watch all my television on either Netflix or Amazon. The cable model is dying.

I haven't had cable (or dish) in 5 years. I get all that I watch over the internet. Which means I think cheesegod is right. (Oh, and don't forget to tell us how you did on these tests.)

Oh, I passed. I should be getting my license in the mail any day.

I think only the savvy people ditched cable to watch TV on the net. I'm sure there's still plenty of casual TV watchers who still use cable, so Sony's aiming for that.

If it's like a better version of Hulu, I'm in. I think a lot of people would consider it as a viable option if it was cheap enough, but with enough content. I just got cable and after only a month, I've decided to get rid of it.

I'm a big Sony guy, so if the price was reasonable compared to Time Warner, sure why not?

Not that I'm saying Time Warner is cheap, Sony is just generally more expensive across all products

I have a Sony media player that I use to stream & play downloaded stuff. It has all the major apps as well as the Sony-specific ones. The prices on TV shows & movies in the Sony apps are the worst I've ever seen (as bad as iTunes). I doubt very seriously that they will make this affordable, especially since Sony needs to turn a profit on it right out of the gate.

to hell with it, i'll buy it. gotta be just as good if not better then what the wii has

Problems facing Apple, XBOX, Sony and Nintendo: if their media service starts cutting into cable TV profits too much, than your ISP (who is usually your cable provider if you want the best connection) will find ways to slow, or cap usage to level the field. If you have FIOS you are lucky. Or, in a moment of clarity cable providers could start offering a la carte service....yeah, right.
