What speeds do you get with Comcast for just subscribing to Internet?
And sometimes illegal.Their pricing policy is to quietly jack up monthly rates and fees and see how long they can get by with it until someone complains. Perfectly legal, of course - taking advantage of the inattentive and unaware has always been a great way to make money.
From what I understand, Apple’s service is not going to have live TV - correct?
Thanks. I’ll wait till tomorrow and see what it looks like.They have made no announcement yet. We'll all find out tomorrow when they announce what they are offering.
Here's the link to the event (1 PM EDT). Apple's events are always a good show.

It’s really weird because it works perfectly on my other TV, but not on this particular one. The main reason I bought the + was to somewhat future proof myself. This one has been a PITB however...
Apple announcement was this afternoon, but it doesn't look like they released enough detail to really understand what's being offered and how it fits.

(maybe this is the new normal?)
I watched for a little bit and was underwhelmed.Apple announcement was this afternoon, but it doesn't look like they released enough detail to really understand what's being offered and how it fits.
If the cable channel logos displayed on the giant screen behind Time Cook represent their core offering, I’ll be giving it a pass.Whatever Apple released, it isn't going to get to 100 million subscribers (just a guess).

My take on the Apple event yesterday was that the TV+ service shows promise, but as with all the similar offerings, it'll live or die based on how good the shows are. We'll see as they come out.
I did think that Apple bringing TV+ to non-Apple platforms was pretty interesting. They listed number of smart TV brands as well as Roku and Fire TV.
I was more interested in the News+ service. I like to read the Wall Street Journal (started back in the early 80's in college), but struggle with the cost of it these days. It's included in the News+ service so I'll be taking that for $9.99/month. I would love to have the smaller newspapers I read get on the service - for some reason Newspaper's digital offerings are almost all awful.
We're sticking with PS Vue too until something better comes along.Whatever Apple released, it isn't going to get to 100 million subscribers (just a guess).
Tough to "jump the shark" in this fragmented TV environment. I'm good with sticking with Sony Vue TV (Playstation Vue) for as long as it takes for someone to release a better option.
I'm having a hard time understanding what Apple TV Channels is. Some reporters are saying it's finally ala carte TV, but I'm not getting that. To me it sounds like it just aggregates all your streaming services into one interface. So if you have PS Vue, Netflix, Amazon Prime and others (PBS Living?), the Apple TV interface will show you everything that's available on all your streaming apps and take you to and from them without ever switching apps. It's only ala carte in a sense if you were to subscribe to a CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, CNN, ESPN, Viacom, Disney, etc. apps individually - but I'd guess that won't be a bargain?
And apparently it's free, just an expansion of what the current Apple TV app. Anyone else understand it that way?
Just saw on CNBC that the WSJ offered by Apple is not equivalent to the current subscription. Business and finance news is not included, only politics and general news. This according to Stephen Weiss on the Fast Money Halftime Report.My take on the Apple event yesterday was that the TV+ service shows promise, but as with all the similar offerings, it'll live or die based on how good the shows are.
