400k homes have cut the cable/satellite cord
I thought this was kinda interesting. We cut the cord about a year ago with a roku box and an ota pvr. We have missed a few things "design star" and restaurant impossible. But they were easy enough to stream to roku via plex. These guys are going to have to find away to charge for bits.
http://entertainment.slashdot.org/st...-year#comments redkemper writes "More than 400,000 American homes have cut the cord and ditched their cable and satellite pay-TV services since the start of 2012. The figure includes 169,000 subscribers shed by Time Warner Cable last quarter, marking the service provider's tenth consecutive quarter of customer losses. It also includes the 52,000 net subscribers DirecTV lost this past quarter, and 176,000 customers who left Comcast."

Has Cuban ever discussed his thoughts on streaming sports? I'd be curious to know when he thinks we will have legal online access to live sports (specifically NBA) without blackout restrictions.
