If I had to bet on the services that will survive the next few years, I'd put my chips on the internet streaming services that do not require a box (well, other than your PC). But I could be wrong, my new is probably using 50-100W, but a little box that only uses 10 or 20 watts would be nice. Many options from which to choose. Comcast needs a box--I do catch myself from time to time using free on demand. That has just brief commercials, hardly seem worth skipping through. I suppose Hulu is the obvious substitute for Comcast. I have the crappy free set top box for that, no doubt fewer and shorter ads is a trend. It really is a hodge podge--and I only average an hour of boob tube a day. I'd be very wary about making any speculations in the stock market, sector is awfully crowded and who knows who will win in the end.
