I was thinking about prime though I never got it. Tried Netflix for awhile and ended up dropping it. I like TV more than movies. That's why SlingTV and Hulu worked out perfect for me. Also at night I just like to channel surf not watching anything in particular, SlingTV is prefect for doing that. They have a 7 day free trial if you want to give it a whirl.

Yea, I could see the cable providers complaining if they started to see people moving to internet based services in mass.

I think Apple collecting taxes has to do with California. I know in PA I have to report on my State taxes what I bought on the internet so that they can tax me.

I'll guess we'll have to see what happens. All that I know is that right now I'm saving a crap ton of money with SlingTV. Not sure what you have, but it's worth a try. I've got the Roku stick 2016 edition and it's great. SlingTV combined with Hulu and I haven't missed anything.

I realize that. But tax implications if the gov started taxing broadcasts over internet would affect the Prime subscription rate along with other broadcast providers normal rates. Amazon, along with other services, would have a vested interest in preventing the gov from taxing such services IMO.

Do they charge taxes for Prime, I don't have Prime? I do have Hulu and there aren't taxes with Hulu, just one monthly price.

I believe Amazon would be affected if the gov started taxing broadcast over internet.

Yea, you know that's coming at some point. But if that happened, it would affect all internet sites. So, Amazon might have something to say to prevent that from happening. Good company / powerful company to have in your corner.

Cable cutters everywhere who purchased the SlingTV service woke up to a surprise this morning. SlingTV added NBC and a bunch of other channels. One of my biggest complaints about the service was the lack of main broadcast channels. Now with the addition of NBC, real change is here. Now I can get NBC, ABC, and FOX on the service. CBS is the only holdout.

I was paying $170 a month for cable TV. Of that $170, $27 was taxes. When I cancelled my cable my monthly charge dropped to $50 a month for internet.

My plan on SlingTV costs $35 a month. There a no taxes.

What do you love about Jamroom 5 right now?

Off Topic

Everything. Jamroom is the best price for features you can get in a CMS. Added, the developers are open to ideas and fix issues quickly.

Alpha Team Guidelines

Maybe there should be a public ANN about the Alpha team stating that they're not part of the Jamroom team, but rather a testing team for Alpha releases.

Works for me.

Latest chat updates

I might be biased because it was up on the top before. I guess there needs to be a gestation period. Now that I know it's down on the bottom, it shouldn't be a problem. Like Gary said in the chat, wait and see what the users think.
