That is going to limit their sale from my POV.
If you have to be connected to the 'net in the future [here for
some] you can get your video without buying an expensive machine.
Verizon is just rolling out their high speed video over IP and
the pricing for the typical base of services that you'd get on
cable or satellite is cheaper than either. Base speed for
'net browsing is 15Mbit second - all on fibre.
They went operational in Texas this week.
