CBS to Offer All Access Streaming - $5.99 per Month

[Titanium]

Love to concept, but not liking the price-tag! $5.99 is way too high for ala carte of a free OTA channel plus archives, when considering the number of networks. Up to $18 just for the big 3? $1.99, $2.99? Sure those prices could catch my attention like the 99 cent iTunes, but at $5.99? Thanks, but no thanks!

Agreed, sounds expensive to me. Maybe I´m getting old, but I still remember the days when TV was only OTA, sure not many options, but it was free, and had to be watched live.

They need to offer far better programming than they currently offer. I am watching less CBS this season than last spring.

$6 x 4 = $24 which is around the same price as what some lifeline cable companies charge or Dish Network Smart Pack which would have more channels and live streaming of the network stations.

Totally ridiculous! A few of these and you're paying as much as cable or satellite. Not to mention the possibility of your internet going down. And apparently just feeding you your local CBS affiliate in the targeted cities. And NFL games being excluded. Plus prime time shows you want to watch being on a one day delayed basis. Again I say - TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!

I also hear it does not include everything. BBT for instance will not be avaialable.

Watching a local CBS news cast last night, they said it doesn´t include football games.

BBT not available? If they are dropping content then what a waste!
