Microsoft working on TV subscription service for Xbox, PCs
Microsoft working on TV subscription service for Xbox, PCs
If you have a Xbox 360 or a PC connected to your HDTV, then the latest development from Microsoft would be of interest. Microsoft is looking to provide streaming content subscriptions for its Windows devices. The only drawback is the willingness of content providers to allow their content on the service. Google is already dealing with the hurdles of having content blocked from Google TV. The biggest benefit would be to consumers who would be able to have true a la carte programming choices and not pay for channels they would never watch.

Saving money sounds great, but what is the catch?
You're probably wondering how this works. Saving money painlessly? $100 dollars a month? Really? Is this legal?
In a nutshell: This is painless! And more importantly legal! What you save on your bill is related to how much you're currently spending now. For example, we were spending $165 a month on internet services, leased cable modem, preferred digital cable, two premium channels and a sports package because I love NFL Network. By dropping down to basic cable and keeping the internet service, we are paying $64 a month.
Does this mean I have a way to keep all my channels and still save money? No. Stealing cable is illegal and I am not endorsing any means of circumventing the controls set in place by cable or satellite providers. Can I get Pay Per View television events like boxing? Not all events, but there are other legal means to order events that you can watch on TV. Don't I miss the NFL Network? Yes, I do. But there are ways for me to get my NFL fix, legally, on my TV.
In a nutshell, I am able to stream video to my television from the internet. I have access to thousands of movies, hundreds of shows that my kids can watch on demand and sports on demand via ESPN.
I started this blog to share with you how you can do the same thing. You probably have everything you need at home; if not I'll provide links to products that will help. If you'd like you can purchase these items from these links; my wife and kids thank you in advance for that.
