How things have changed

What is "other" on that Nielsen chart? The FAQ's don't really make it clear. Do you know any specific examples what an "other" would be?

From the site-

Within The Gauge, "other" includes all other TV usage that does not fall into the broadcast, cable or streaming categories. This primarily includes all other tuning (unmeasured sources), unmeasured video on demand (VOD), audio streaming, gaming and other device (DVD playback) use.

Also I found this chart to be interesting and fun

I would imagine "other streaming" are the streaming services not on the chart. DirecTV, Fubo, Frndly, Philo, MLB, NBA, RSNs, Xumo, Plex are some examples but they are many more.

This IS the "How Things Have Changed" Thread ... :D
 
I have been posting about this for awhile, but why are people paying over $120 a month, when the vast majority of content is reruns, most of that, is available for free via the Pluto TV type services.

I want new content, in the best quality available, hence why I am a cord cutter-

A search of TV schedules for basic cable paints a bleak picture: Over the course of a recent week, there was not one listing for a newly created episode of scripted television on over 100 channels reviewed by MarketWatch.

These days, almost all newly created programs are made for streaming, with little of that programming ever appearing on basic cable — a service that more than 60 million homes in the U.S. still receive and often pay over $100 a month for.

A decade ago, basic-cable channels produced a record-high 186 scripted original series, with hit shows like "The Walking Dead" and "The Americans" leading the way, according to a report analyzing programming put out annually by FX Networks

Now the number of new scripted series made for cable audiences is nearly zero, with customers left with little more than a zombie landscape of reality-show reruns, old movies and hours-long blocks of "Law & Order," "NCIS" and "Friends."

Either they're old and don't know anything about streaming tech, or they don't like change. I haven't used cable TV in the home in over 8 years. I transitioned to Sling after cutting the cord and tried other stuff, but now I just use whatever out there is free. My Tablo has some pretty good Fast channels loaded on it, and I've been catching up on a recent season of Creepshow. It's not worth it to pay for TV these days.
