its got to be free..

pay-per-view works with only certain content..<br /><br />if reruns are streamed, they will need to be supported with ads and heavely advertised for it to catch on. $10 a month is almost a netflix subscription

Good Luck

I doubt this would ever be free. They will either charge you for this on a monthly basis or it will be ad supported. They are talking about charging $10 monthly and ad supported. Not for me. They should do it one way or the other not both either free with ads or no ads and a monthly fee.. Also you may see tests of this but they will have to go to all networks and then networks have to make deals and this is also going by nielsen ratings which means some networks like nbc wont hardly even be included in this, sounds to me like alot of hurdles to get over first.
