Re: Still sad about Aereo...
Good points on OTA.
I seem to recall a service provider doing some streaming of local sports, news and weather. Not a huge revenue generator, but a nice add.

I'm in the same boat on some OTA channels, too... and I can't believe that OTA broadcasters haven't tried to figure out an OTT solution of their own? I suppose the content licensing is impossible or something? I really don't know how local TV stations operate...

> "today cable provider Suddenlink announced it had a deal in place with Hulu"
Interesting.. I'm curious why a cable provider needs to deal with Hulu? Doesn't it already have deals in place to provide nearly all the same content? I suppose some of Hulu's original content is beginning to have value..?
I wonder when Amazon will start making similar deals...? Or is this a deal that can only happen because Hulu's owners are already closely tied to cable providers?

Interesting.. I haven't seen much "local streaming video" other than the local TV news stations putting up horrible video embeds on their websites that usually are painful to try to interact with. You don't appreciate how much effort goes into making the Youtube interface nice, until you see how bad video players can be on other sites that insist on using their own crummy video platforms which buffer and offer far fewer niceties for video playback online.
Suddenlink
Suddenlink was one of the smaller cable operators that refused to pay Viacom more, so maybe they need additional content now that SpongeBob is gone. The release also mentions TiVo boxes accessing Hulu.

@mhhf1ve I heard Amazon planing something simular in Canada with one of the streaming services... but no one did confirm it yet 100%...

Re: more Hulu
"jump via hops," that's quite an image @batye! Sounds tricky.

@Ariella sad reality nothing is simple anymore in Canada to get service customer wants... the consumers must jump like a rabbit... example Netflix fighting with Canadians using US ip to get US content... http://globalnews.ca/news/2651298/netflix-vpn-crackdown-unblock-us-goes-dark-as-canadian-users-cry-foul/
