I can't get NBC, FX, Hallmark, TNT, HGTV, FYI and AMC all require a login with provide name. I get ABC and pay $6 a month for CBS. I don't know why Apple can't get the other channels to not require a provider. I'm ok with a nominal $6 a month fee. Still less than I was paying my provider. At least I'd only pay for the channels I will watch and nothing I don't watch.

There are a number of apps that don't require a provider, but I think they all require a monthly fee. The last time I took a hard look, I decided that the fee I pay Comcast is a better value for the types of things that I watch.

So they have NBC, FX, Hallmark etc. Cord cutters can't use them. They want login with a provider. So, most media rights still belong to networks and cable/satelite providers.
\\ /\( ) Alice.( ). lwr32@mac.comhe was referring to Apple bullying the media rights holders for content, so Apple can run their own streaming service. Apple wants a big cut, so despite years of deal trying, it hasn't happened, and I can't see it happening.The devices, well they are all cheap, Apple included. The best device is not tied to a provider. Its a seperate streaming device with all the apps that cover all the SVOD services.
