The Cord Cutting Show

Roy mentioned on facebook that he's watching a new show called Mr. Robot.

I see it's available on the USA Now app on the Apple TV.  And I assume there's a comparable USA Now app for the iPad.  (And also on Hulu.)

That got to be to wondering whether there was an USA Network app for the Roku.  Searching... Apparently there's not an official channel, but you can watch USA Network shows on the Roku via the Plex app.  [7/8/15 - didn't see the channel on the Plex server side, but was able to install it on the Roku side.  It works and supports subtitles too!]

That story was from www.thestreamingadvisor.com website, from which I saw that there is a show called The Cord Cutting Show, which was news to me.  The current episode is episode 12 which can be accessed on iTunes.  (Checking the podcasts on the AppleTV, apparently it's audio only.)

I wondered if it was available on youtube and it is.  Since AFTVNews.com (Amazon Fire TV News) is one of the contributors (along with thestreamingadvisor and CordCuttersNews.com), they have uploaded it to their channel apparently starting with episode 9.

So CordKillers now sort of has competition.

There is a big difference.  In The Cord Cutting Show, you never get to see the people talking.  Where, of course, it's the opposite on CordKillers [which, as I'm watching/listening to it now, has an order of magnitude more personality, though perhaps not as much raw content].

[9/7/15] Actually I've been watching it on and off and it's actually pretty good as far as the information conveyed.  They now have a dedicated website.
