Make it easier to find such content and at a time he wants to watch by all means but gimmicks like apps ain't going to sell subs in my opinion. Not a chance.
I wonder why, according to an article I read, that the growth area in TV sales is not 3D TVs, but connected TVs?

My sony BR player has got several music/video music services on it as do current Sony TVs

As adding things like music services to tivo doesn't in anyway diminish it's ability to 'just watch TV', why do people have a problem with other connectivity being added to it?

Have I joined the Luddite forum by mistake?

I don't care about that; I want a music service because I'd use it. Presumably others would too.
