!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

We quit Dish Network after many years because it had gotten too expensive and because we had to pay seperately for Broadband. DSL is not a viable option in our neighborhood. We tried Xfinity for a minute, but it’s a lousy product and you have to pay extra to view a digital signal. I ain’t payin’ extra to use an HDMI cable. So we went data-only and we leave a laptop plugged into the telly and only ever watch Netflix.

Seriously though: Having to pay extra to watch content in 1080p or 720p? Ain’t happening.

Device functionality for Netflix already being in a huge number of TVs and easily added with a Roku, Roku stick, or smart DVD/BluRay player, this seems like a really, really late time to get into the game.

I think the advent of the deal between Comcast and Netflix is the real news here, and there is still a sizable share of the market that are not sophisticated enough to connect a laptop or a Roku or anything else.

My thing is, and I said it above, that I think it’s ludicrous to have to pay extra for a 720p image in this day and age.

I’m betting the real advantage of this will be if Netflix does not count against the data caps that Comcast so desperately wants.
