ie no money to fox ever
or any other BS channel like MTV with no videos
or the preachers or home shop or coin sales
like on the stupid cable or sat lists
just each channel yes or no pay for it at a xxx rate
or as it is commercial filled tv PAY ME TO WATCH YOU BIZ
NOT LIKELY
BUT ANY WITH ANY CHOICE
AND NO MONEY TO FOX Forks
and the RWNJ can never pay the MSM they hate and fear
ONE THING GETS ME
they sell the ads based on views
then expect me to also pay to see the channel
but if I do not they get less fractionally
if a lot of us chose not to subscribe to a system with fox news
they lose a lot of money
those on the RWNJ side may want to avoid the MSM THEY DREAD
AND ONLY WATCH AND PAY THE fascist CHANNELS like fox
win win why no channel picks one by one only packs of SOMEBODYS PICKS and NOT me
IF I GO TO A MOVIE I WATCH AND PAY FOR ONLY THAT MOVIE
NO STUDIO DEMANDS I PICK 10 MOVIES AND PAY FOR ALL OF THEM EVEN IF THEY ARE SHOWING THEM ALL TODAY
but all cable sat and now streamers think they should demand all or none !!!

Question wonder and be wierd

So basically you're choosing your entertainment choices by how much you hate fox news. Mmmmkay. Good luck with that. Kool-aid infusion at its finest, you have.
This probably needs to be moved to the political thread.[This message has been edited by BHall71 (edited 11-23-2023).]

Sounds like you're pizzed because channels are bundled together in "packages".
You and every other subscriber. The broadcast companies force it upon the content providers. "If you want 'XX', then you also have to carry 'XY' and 'XZ', and bundle them together."
But there are not enough people that just say "no", put up an antenna (you know... like the "olden days") and go to OTA - over the air - broadcasts. It's still free and works quite well.
I'm ~65 air miles from Atlanta, and pick up every Atlanta station that I'm interested in, and a bunch that I'm not. I can get about as many channels as I did with cable or satellite.
If you're anywhere near Miami, you ought to be able to pick up a sh!t ton of channels.
I voted with my money. If you're serious about it, then you should too.
If you're streaming, they - and you - are in the same boat as the cable and satellite providers. You gotta do the "package".
BTW... the only Fox channel that I receive is the local affiliate. (ATL channel 5.) And it's so watered down that it's not really Fox anyway.

For Others...
Many to Most OTA won't be free for long when ATSC 3 gets traction & settles some Patent lawsuits that allow carriers to have DRM Encrypted Channels.
Many Free Channels are already Very Compressed now & look like crap on any large screen just to get so many sub-channels in same bandwidth. Expect even worse quality as DRM Channels generate Big $ to Disney (owns ABC), Comcast (owns NBC) & few others that Owns most Broadcast stations.------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I vote with my dollars...
This sounds like a lack of personal conviction on your part.
I have Prime ($6.99/mo). That's it.
No Netflix, Hulu, ESPN, Max, etc.
Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube and others; I only have free.
Paramount+ is included in my home internet @50$ and if it would make my bill cheaper I'd not have it either.
I had to read your post 4 or 7 times. Why don't you just type coherent?
Why so many ad hominem attacks?
Isn't what you're suggesting a lot like the net neutrality issue everyone hates that we really already have with bandwidth throttling?

point is I do not want to pay for propaganda
or make rubert richer
Net neutrality is the principle that an ISP has to provide access to all sites, content, and applications at the same speed, under the same conditions, without blocking or giving preference to any content.
Net neutrality is NOT paying for stuff I do not want in a bogus bundle
corpRATS want to sell the tv that way
that does not mean I have to buy it

We grew up with "free" TV. That doesn't mean we have a right to free TV.

RayB... you should get a Roku TV, or if you want to, you can get the Roku Box. There's some 1,000+ streaming channels that are often subsets of the larger channels, or variations there-of. Like for example, there's a NOVA channel, there's a This Old House channel, a This Old House Classics channel, there's a channel just for Unsolved Mysteries in which, like the other channels, they play random iterations of the various shows. There's sports, home and garden, sailing, finance, whatever. 1000s of channels.
If you have an OTA antennae, you can hook that up too and Roku absorbs those channels into its lineup.
You pay nothing for Roku, it's entirely free.... you just pay the one time cost for the hardware (either a Roku TV or the Roku device).
