"Hulu and the networks own websites have any number of programs that are supported through ads." Uh, they don't have to buy spectrum, deploy UHF transmission facilities across the US, and pay those electric bills. gizmodo.com Slacker, HULU exists to pre-empt what content providers such as Universal Media (NBC) consider rampant piracy via file sharing networks (bit-torrents) and YouTube. newteevee.com Cable providers are the biggest violators for ceaseless insertion of low-quality locally-created private advertisement. Still can't get free cable. I want the same high-quality stuff I get on cable, Scripps Network stuff. In 2010 in a down economy, no transmission service (cable, sat, FIOS/UVerse, or FLO) will ever be able to insert enough commercials to cover their costs without driving customers away or driving away advertisers by allowing time-shift DVR features.
