Cut the Cord with Subscription TV

As more and more video is offered online, more and more people seem to be cutting the cord with their cable or satellite provider. A new company called ZillionTV that just launched recently boasts totally free programming.

How does it work? ZillionTV works with your internet provider to bring you steraming movies and TV shows through your television. According to the website, there are no downloads or painful waiting time.


ZillionTV is currently working with Disney, NBC, Universal, Sony Pictures Television, and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. You search for what you want to watch, even down to the ads or no ads for that matter (paying a per program fee to view without ads). You can also use the service with your current TV service.

You can choose to buy, rent or watch programs for free. By buying programs you can watch them as much as you want. By renting you can watch for a specified period of time. Watching programs for free is great, but you have to watch the ads too.

Sounds good to me, but let's see how the beta testing goes.

P.S. read my earlier post in February about online videos and some good sites to find them.
