How AppleTV can change the TV industry and save us money

chadsakonchick.com — I watch a lot of TV. My cable bill comes out to about $110 a month. Which means I’m spending $1320 a year on television. Assuming I buy an AppleTV, cut my cable subscription, and can get all of these 15 shows via iTunes, what will I save? A season pass on iTunes costs $35, I watch 15 shows which brings us to $525. That’s a savings of $795 a year.

  • billdcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I’m doing the same calculation myself, though without Apple TV (my plan is to directly connect a new iMac to the TV, once the new iMacs are released). (No harm to Apple - they get a $1,500 sale instead of a $300 one.)

    One thing I think people underestimate, though, is the impact of the iPhone, for similar calculations. Once the iPhone is out, I plan to not only switch to AT&T for mobile phone service, but actually switch from Directv to AT&T’s offering (Dish?), and AT&T’s DSL offering for internet. (Unless, of course, I drop broadcast TV altogether, though it may be too premature for that.)
