Cut the cord...well almost

Interesting option since CBS owns the Star Trek franchise and quite a few other good shows like NCIS. Hmmmm.... Does live streaming mean I could watch the Cowboy games the rest of the season? I guess I could try the one week free trial and find out.

P.S. I'm not quite sure all this a la carte way of things will be good in the long run.

Obviously if a person was going to have to individually subscribe to all the separate networks CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX etc. this would not be good for the consumer. However, if Turner Classic Movie Channel and Fox Movie Channel were to go to a streaming service I'd pay $5.99 easily for each. I could care less about any of the other channels. Most of the content for on demand at CBS is already available either on Netflix or Amazon. Speaking of Amazon they again screwed up another order. Last Saturday I ordered a book that was shown as "in stock" and "Prime" and it's not going to arrive until late October. I asked why in live chat and the woman who helped me only offered an apology and said it's on backorder. I don't like that Amazon doesn't even communicate to let you know if they can't meet their obligation unless you contact them. The item I ordered was intended for a gift and won't be on time. She suggested I buy it from one of the vendors instead. What???

I doubt if I would go for a CBS streaming package - but I would buy CBS if offered alacarte selection by my cable company.
The HBO Go I will be all over.  Syfy would probably get me as well.
