New technology, in particular Internet streaming, is poised to IMHO make a big dent in the cable tv market.
I've have an Apple TV device since Christmas and not long after that also got a Roku Streamer. If you're familiar with Netflix, that play streaming channels like that but in the case of Apple TV, about a dozen others (edit: 24 channels on top of apples in house content they sell lie songs and apps) as well and in the case of Roku, 750 other channels.
I'm watching a documentary via Apple TV right now in high definition. It's not quite as good as cable quality but its close.
With some slight limitations, I can't see how people in this economy won't be willing to live with some minor disadvantages and in exchange pay only pennies on the dollar or watch a good variety of TV programming for free. I still have cable tv but at this point if I had to I coud live without it and not miss it very much.
Anybody else watches Apple TV or roku?
