Cut The Cord To Your Cable and leave Pay Tv Behind

 

 

On average, Americans over the age of two watch roughly thirtyfour hours per week of television. That's five hours of TV per day! I think it's safe to say that television is a huge part of our lives. It has chosen career paths for people and altered people by programming the mind. That's why they call the TV shows, programming. TV has given people a vision of what they choose in life, what they wish to be, what they fear, and what they love. You see the brain is a very simple yet complex thing to mold. The vision you put into your brain is the vision you start to believe in so strongly that the vision becomes reality. TV is widely responsible for how a persons life story unfolds. That's why they call it television (tell a vision).

 

 

 

 

The average customers have 189 channels. It is estimated that over 100 million people subscribe to pay TV. The average American pays $123.00 per month for cable or satellite TV compared to $86.00 in 2011. The customer price index states that the US inflation increased 1.6% between 2011 and 2015. So what does all this mean? This will floor most people. From 2011 to 2015 pay TV increased its prices by 9.4% higher than inflation, six times the rate of inflation annually. All the blame is not to be placed on the satellite and cable providers. Lets take a closer look at content cost. Have you noticed lately how different networks have been disappearing from cable and satellite providers and then all of a sudden they are back with no explanation? Then you see a new TV commercial promising more channels for $19.95 a month for 12 months. This is why some of these things happen. Networks want more money so they are in heated negotiations with pay TV providers, a negotiation is not reached so they pull their network spot. This causes customers to get angry because the only reason they watch TV is to watch a program provided only by that particular network. So what do customers do? They leave that cable provider to find one that carries their network of choice. Negotiations are started again after that pay TV provider starts to loose large numbers of customers. The networks get their higher prices and the extra cost is passed on to the consumer. Networks like ESPN, TNT and FOX NEWS increased causing your cable bill to increase in 2014 6.5% of US households have cut the cord up from 4.5% in 2010.

 

 

 

 

So where are customers going? How are they fulfilling their home entertainment needs? The answer is streaming TV. Things like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and new on the horizon negotiations are in play for HBO to jump into the playing field. The NFL has turned to streaming. Many other devices sold in local department stores are offering a source to stream live and non-live programs alike. The internet has provided a system of endless possibilities. At one time we listened to vinyl records it was replaced by eight track tapes, eight track tapes were replaced by cassette tapes, and cassette tapes were replaced by music CD's, and music CD's are being replaced by streaming MP3 players. Do you see a trend happening? Remember the days of rotary phones then when push button phones came out we were so excited. There was a phone booth on every corner. How many of those do you see now days? Lets not forget the good old cell phone. The purse like cell phone you carried on your shoulder now phones are all very sleek and they all stream. Streaming is the wave of the future pay TV is slowly becoming a dinosaur, just like vinyl records, rotary telephones, and yes very soon music CD's.
