I am sure CBS will go their own way when all access comes out...um, it's 
already out, ok when the new trek comes out....

  Did I read the price was going from $35 to $60 on Jan. 9?  Are you 
grandfathered?  I don't see how they can charge $60, seems like >= $50 would be 
the third rail for OTT pricing.  Especially since you probably need 1 or 2 more 
subscriptions to have enough content to cut the cord.

   

  Also, still no CBS?

   

  Do you plan to try the new Hulu offering when it comes out?

  I like the captions.  I can sit here with kids and grandkids with prairie 
home companion playing and still watch a show with really decent caption text.  

   

  Playing past episodes of shows is till dicey.  I will go to Roku for that for 
now.  I tried playing some episodes of The Profit several times only to have 
them quit in the  middle.  I like the video quality of the apple TV, but it 
still pauses now and then on live TV.  Being an early adopter I have patience.  
But it better be better than Roku/Playstation VUE in a year or it is history.  

   

  DirectTV Now has the best guide.  On the PC it kills the show you are 
watching while looking at the guile.  On the AppleTV  it has the show playing 
behind  the guide.  

   

  I still go to Sling and then, but not sure I need it for anything.  I may 
have my HBO accounts coupled to it.
