“As consumer demand for streaming content continues, Moonves said he feels good about being able to make significant money from online viewership year in and year out, regardless of which online distributor wins.”

That doesn’t sound like someone who thinks Apple TV is a loser. That sounds like someone who wants a lot of money for streaming re-runs of outdated TV shows.

We’ve a global recession imminent; at least 1 Euro country about to go bankrupt and several more to follow when they do – and they’re being obstreperous to their online channel partners. Brilliant. The Grasshopper is dishing out drunken beatings to the Ants just before winter arrives. When it does, and he crawls back, starving and begging for the crumbs falling from the Ants’ tables… I hope they tell them to ‘go eat a bag of hell, @#$@#$%…’ ;-)

It often forgets its place, forgets to display controls, fails to resize the video when exiting full screen, and loses sync of audio and video by the last couple commercial breaks. It’s unfortunately that no one there seems to recognize the incompetence.
