I only see CBS Sports at the moment when searching for CBS.
Is there a CBS all access app on the new 4th gen ATV?
I have all the major network apps downloaded and the CBS app which is the only one I didn't activate. I don't understand what they're doing. All the other network apps were free based on signing in and confirm my provider.
But the CBS app states it's 4 or $5/ month through iTunes. Am I missing something??
When you figure it out please let me know too. I d/l'd the app, discovered the charge and then deleted it.
Same for me. Maybe if the majority are not using it they'll wise up!!
The CBS All Access app is going in the right direction, the others who require a cable provider are clinging to the past. What needs to happen is that all the major channels allow you to pay if you don't have a cable provider. That way you can cancel your cable and just subscribe to the channels you like.
Agree. But they should have multiple options. Like HBO Now vs. HBO Go. Including a no commercial option like Hulu.The CBS All Access app is going in the right direction, the others who require a cable provider are clinging to the past.

I totally disagree. I already pay for those channels via my satellite subscription. I should not be forced to pay again. I will not support that form of corporate greed. I'd sooner do without their offerings. #VoteWithYourWallet
This! They should at least give the option for those who have a cable/satellite provider. And those who do not.Agree. But they should have multiple options. Like HBO Now vs. HBO Go. Including a no commercial option like Hulu.

Do you pay for set top boxes? I just turned in 4 and will be saving about $67 per month. Well -6 for CBS All Access. I understand not everyone can save money by reducing hardware. I also have Hulu with no commercials which cost $!2 per month.I agree. I'm not paying a 2nd time for a channel I already pay for via my cable subscription, just to get a few shows that are only offered via streaming. I would rather buy the shows on iTunes before doing that.
No I use a cable card in a Tivo.Do you pay for set top boxes? I just turned in 4 and will be saving about $67 per month. Well -6 for CBS All Access. I understand not everyone can save money by reducing hardware. I also have Hulu with no commercials which cost $!2 per month.
I can see the perspective of the folks who still subscribe to cable/satellite who don't want to pay the subscription fee for CBS All Access. CBS should have an option to sign in with your provider credentials.
However, as a cord cutter, I very much appreciate what CBS offers and I think the app can be a model for other networks to emulate. For just $6 a month you get a huge library of shows to watch as well as access to local, live TV in selected markets.
I do agree that if I'm paying for the service I shouldn't have to watch commercials in back catalog shows. It's very annoying. I can tolerate commercials in the current seasons episodes, but if I'm watching an episode of NCIS from season 3 I shouldn't have to watch commercials.
First off, I will NOT pay an extra $6/month for something that I am already paying for.
Next, at $6/channel, how many channels can you purchase/subscribe to before you're back to the monthly cable/satellite service pricing? Except that now, you are paying $50-$100/month, with less channels available. I do think that the cable/satellite pricing is out of control, but I get the "bundle" option - how else would you be able to get that one show on the obscure cable channel to which you are addicted? It just make no sense.
There's already PlayStation Vue, while they have not launched an Apple TV app yet the login works for every Apple TV app. Comcast its trialling a service, Hulu is planning to launch a cable service, and at&t/Directv are also planning a service.I hope there are eventually more options like Sling TV that offer smaller bundles or even a service that allows me to pick my own bundle of cable/satellite channels for a reasonable price per month. I can get all the old-style networks OTA.
