Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] TV streaming devices, by market share

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 far Apple hasn't done a very good job of getting usable apps for us cord cutters. 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.

he 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.

Bullying or pricing? Isn't Apple the most expensive of the ones looked at?
