Curious: Does anybody actually pay for CBS?

Well now that sticks:eek:

TV is just getting worse and worse, Apple needs to become a provider of more content so I can ditch Comcast:D in the meantime Comcast better port its TV Go app into universal search.
 
No. The only shows I watch now are Big Bang, Supergirl and Colbert. I bout the iTunes season passes for the first two. I'm not paying $6 per month just to not turn on AirPlay on my phone. I find it ridiculous that you can't watch Colbert for free on the TV app.
 
CBS on the ATV 4 seems to be having issues right now. The CBS All Access category is not loading any programs at the moment - the "Shows" category does list all the shows available and you can select most recent episodes.
 
The thing I don't understand is that they are charging you for access. And they don't even stream all of their content. For example, two broke girls. I saw they only had clips of those shows. Maybe the last episode. Beyond that, nothing. I think some of the other big shows were like that to. Where you think that you would watch the entire series of a show, or past seasons. Only to find out that they are just clips or highlights.
 
As a cord cutter, I subscribe to CBS all access. It works great and I love the ability to watch live tv without cable. Watched Big Bang last night and the picture quality was great.
 
I've subscribed to CBS All Access for a little over a year and I have no regrets. I don't think they should charge though. It's rather ridiculous. In fact, I think the other 3 networks shouldn't even authenticate via cable providers because you can get all 4 over the air for free. I pay for commercial free Hulu with the Showtime add-on and Netflix. I also have Amazon Prime, but I subscribe for the shipping and not for the video.
 
I have it and love it but the majority of what we watch is CBS so the $6 is no big deal. We are in the live tv market so that is a plus. We were having weather issues last Friday night which caused poor antenna reception. We watched Hawaii Five O and Bluebloods through the app. I have no complaints with it to this point.
 
I did because i wanted to watch Super Girl and Limitless. But once they're done - i'll cancel. I agree with you - who does CBS think they are? Also - their app - SUCKS!! And their live streaming, in NYC, is BLURRY!!!!!

the picture quality is good but i hate that they don't tell when you have new shows and which ones you've watched.

I hate that too. That's why I use Trakt via iShows 2. I can't rely on tv to remember what I've watched. I also watch stuff on my Mom's Hopper. There's no tracking at all once a show has been deleted so a TV tracking app is essential for me.
