A lot of people try to keep their cable/satellite service but reduce the big bills — something called “cord shaving.” You also could “cut the cord,” which means dropping cable completely and using an antenna for local channels or a low-cost internet streaming service, or both. Many others keep their cable/satellite package as is, but stack streaming service subscriptions, like Netflix and Amazon Prime, on top of it. It’s called “cord stacking,” and it can get expensive.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    The evolution of the set-top box: Current and future trends affecting return path data measurement Analysts: Matt Stump, Karen Brown Prepared for the Council for Research Excellence by One Touch Intelligence © 2012 One Touch Intelligence, LLC. All rights reserved. INDEX 4 Multichannel video program distributors 9 Gaming consoles 12 Smart TVs/Blu-ray players 15 Internet video set-top boxes 25 Tablets/smartphones 26 Summary 2 The evolution of the set-top box — September 2012 INTRODUCTION The set-top box world dominated by cable, DBS and telephone companies is evolving into a more fractured environment for the delivery of live linear programming and video-on-demand content from broadcasters and cable networks. The growth in broadband subscribers and Internet speeds plus the rapid adoption of all manner of digital devices have created a second ecosystem adjacent to the current pay TV environment. Content providers that have been shut out of traditional channel delivery are finding Internet aggregators only too happy to test the limits of the pay TV ecosystem by giving consumers choices beyond traditional broadcast and cable network lineups. At the same time, many of these online aggregators represent an opportunity for content providers to extend the visibility for much of their library product. Such providers also present a promotional opportunity for newly produced content. For multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs), online aggregators present both a cord-cutting threat and a broadband opportunity, since consumers need a broadband connection to access such services. As content distribution has spread to new outlets, new devices have been created for consumers to view that content.
