Wow. That. Sounds. Enticing.

As someone who just quit cable, very very enticing. They just need to release it for chromecast and I would sign up.

I've got probably 8 or 9 months left on an introductory offer that was 'reasonable," I guess--but when that expires, I could look long and hard at this.

Now, would there be an ability to get local channels, too? I don't live in the country, but I live far enough away from the city that local broadcasts, without cable/satellite/etc. is generally poor.

If I could get local plus those broadcasts--it might be a go.

Bet they don't provide Fox News
