Well I doubt they will be very successful at all if they are trying to compete with Cable when a service like Netflix offers countless TV shows and movies for $10 a month without any ads... The only good thing about Cable TV is that they get some shows faster than Netflix but apart from that, Cable TV has zero advantage over Netflix, specially for that price so if all this is, is that its Cable TV on the internet with similar price ranges, its probably gonna do terribly

By countless TV shows, you mean they miss out on major network shows and are missing a ton of content including any live content.

While I understand Netflix has convinced many to cut the cord, you're greatly exagerrated the content difference.

Well, netflix is just an example I used cause there are more and more services such as HBO that are doing the samething with signficantly cheaper prices than what you would get in cable TV. And yes, I get the whole "live content" but if its sports and stuff, there are plenty of websites that will show that live for free and its easy to find them too.

And I mean, there has to be quality as well as quantity cause on Netflix, there are tons of movies you can watch which are not avaliable on standard cable as well as TV shows and same goes for HBO. Heck, when HBO stops doing their "must have service provider" nonsense and become independent which will be very soon, you will have tons of highly rated shows such as Game of Thrones on your HBO subscription and they will be avaliable right then and there without having to wait. I have had cable TV before and the reason we no longer care about cable TV is cause most of the time, there is nothing to watch where as on Netflix and other services online, there are tons of things to watch, both old and new.

And after HBO, most likely, the rest will follow like AMC/FX although a few of their stuff is on Netflix like Breaking Bad and Walking Dead but granted its not as those get aired
