Tough few weeks for traditional broadcast television:
First, an appeals court declined to rehear a case in which broadcasters sought to close down Aereo, a company that allows users to record and play back broadcast television over the Internet. And then last week, another appeals court declined to stop Dish Network, the satellite television company, from selling a service called Hopper, which lets viewers automatically skip ads.
Here's the deal: broadcasters are still trying to cling to an antiquated and draconian model but customers no longer want to have anything to do with that.
I'm in the same boat. I'll gladly pay a reasonable fee for the content I want to watch, but don't ask me to pay for shit I don't want.
It's high time broadcasters learn to live in this new reality or slowly fade to irrelevancy.
