Digital OTA TV has subchannels now. I don't know why they can't just have a crawl that says "Severe Weather Alert....Tune in to 5.2 for live coverage" and let them pre-empt their cheap filler programming instead of prime time content.
This has been true since the advent of the DVR (or even the VCR to a lesser extent), unless you are a slave to broadcast schedules. Just get better at avoiding spoilers. It's a better viewing experience to wait until you have the whole season at once rather than mixing one episode of show X and an episode of show Y the next day.
Now if only the BBC would offer paid subscriptions to their iPlayer content to other coountries. Cord cutters are not going to subscribe to BBC America but are willing to pay for better access.
Please don't convince everyone to run their own web crawler. Though a distributed search engine that works a bit like BT might not be a bad idea that I'm too lazy to implement.
Back when B movies were trying to be good movies. Now, Syfy commissions these with the intent of them being bad. I don't understand the reasoning there.
But even "Netflix originals" are, mostly, licensed content from production houses
When they're paying for production, they generally go for worldwide distribution rights. The problem with regional licensing is that companies tend to sell exclusive rights by country for a program.
The HBO subscription is only worth it if you have a peer group that also has an HBO subscription and so it's important to watch things at the same time as them
Entertainment is much cheaper if you are perpetually 3-5 years behind, and can avoid spoilers.
It seems both bandwidth caps and anti-net neutrality gouging is primarily driven by cable companies wanting to drive customers to their own services instead of using online services and remain the gatekeeper and middle man between the content and the customers.
Absolutely correct. And those that have DSL or fiber from the phone company, they were used to gouging customers for phone service and the cable company was their only competition. Might as well call it assumed collusion, since they just know that they both want to keep prices high and there is no other competition.
If the trust is already established and that's what purchases the movie, then you'd probably be right. As long as they don't prohibit non-individual purchases in the first place.
And it's fair because it's a BBC article being referenced. If it had been Stargate Program (proper noun), there would actually be some issue with a spelling change.

You overestimate the number of tech savvy octogenarians.
Maybe it's just time to re-evaluate your pricing. Piracy is not without risk, and if avoiding risk was cheap, few would do it.

Followup - they'd have to make more money on Sherlock by selling subscriptions than by licensing to PBS.

Or downloading a show that failed to record because it was pre-empted by sports (or damaged by poor reception).

I was going off what you said.
99% get more grants for education than the top 1% by 100%
x = 99% grants for education
y = 1% grants
t = total of all grants
x is 100% more than y.
t = x + y
OR
t = 2y + y
t = 3y
y = 1/3t
4th-wall-breaking breaks in the middle of the plot to show off some product or other
Kimmy Schmidt did that (as a joke) with Mentos. Arrested Development came close.

History Channel? Not about history anymore. TLC? Just a channel about exploiting freaks for reality TV. Discover? Discover how bad reality TV is.
Abandoning your niche for a bigger marketshare. Happens every few years.
TLC is no longer an abbreviation for anything.
TruTV used to be Court TV.
Last I knew, "Syfy" was mostly B movies and wrestling.
And why do people search? Because they have no idea what the show is, but they heard about it. Meaning they aren't necessarily subscribing, either.
On broadcast digital TV there's horrible artifacting, audio buzzes and skips that make the program unwatchable -- or it just doesn't come in at all.
You need a better antenna setup. And live within 50-60 miles of your broadcast towers, ideally.
Did you also know that the bottom 99% get more grants for education than the top 1% by 100%?
Does that mean that the top 1% get 1/3 of all grants for education? Or did you do your math wrong?
Correct.
Have you ever installed a Slashdot reading/viewing app? The app may have claimed the URI scheme but didn't clean up after itself after you removed it.
