I really like cable T.V.
I don't have cable. I don't have a DVR.
Classic cable TV may have hit its peak, but it's still a huge force, and the streaming apps of many cable networks still require you to authenticate that you're a paying cable customer every time you want to use a new such TV app.
I'm an HBO subscriber, and I watch a bunch of great shows on HBO.
Cable boxes are, almost without exception, awful. They're under-powered computers running very badly designed software. Their channel guides are slow, poorly laid out, and usually riddled with ads.
As for the device we now call a TV or a cable box, I want it to be fast with a clean interface and seamlessly upgradeable to the latest software. I want it to be the primary source of all TV, not an ancillary device.
When dealing with HBO, you actually are dealing with real filmmakers.
Comcast is a big voice: they have a tremendous voice across America; they're a tremendous voice in Spanish and English, and they have a tremendous voice in Washington.
Many of our constituents have one option for cable TV and one price. Our constituents desire choice.
I don't have cable, and it's glorious.
