From what I gather Google Chromecast w/ Google TV is a good performer in this regard. However, the issue remains that you'd have to pay almost 10€ per platform, for a total of 3 platforms, per month. That's simply not economivally viable.

That's a heck of a lot less expensive than cable even without the premium channels.

Well another alternative is you pay say $5 per movie you watch or $2 per tv show episode rather than an all in price.

Would that be an improvement?

Considering I can get AAA games for $10 after waiting a year or so, I'm not sure if $5 for a decade old movie really that worth it.

A-la-carte needs to be substantially cheaper to realistically compete with buffet style streaming services.

I can't be the only one who just bought a 4K blu-ray player. The cost of a disc is cheaper than a monthly subscription and I can still trade them in making it a cracking good deal. And quality is soo much better than streaming, literally made me move my sofa a little closer to TV!
