the show but basically the idea of the set top box is simply to get the internet on your on your television set to put it most simple terms allow people to hear that they think oh it's maybe a browser on the t v but really it's applications that are running that allow you to view content full screen on your computer or on your television set in most cases their menu driven icon driven they look almost like on boxes go it debuted initially as a netflix viewer because remember netflix was originally d v d s only then they start offering streaming content so who is kind of the streaming box for netflix of course apple t v is out there said to be writing their own service and devices is this too much stuff press me and i'll buy it i mean really it's again one of those scenarios when you talk all the time apple wasn't the first to invent some of these things but they perfected it they made a desirable and that's what amazon has to do and i don't know if they can or will or whatever it has to be that need or demand for it and i think that can be out number one it's going to be better than that it's got to beat it and that has to be better and a lower price point i mean how long is apple t v out now year and a half two years and i don't see a light in the world on fire in any sense  i just don't know if there is enough demand to watch television on the internet and i know a lot of blu ray players now come with their own streaming capabilities for you to be yours or other online video content they're not saying it's not there but you've got to find a way to for me to really say yes that's mine i want it that's great and i don't know if it's there yet it could be but they've got a real role really role something great well and i think that of any of the companies out there amazon may be the one that can certainly figure this out i mean or google or and really to me amazon i think sometimes we forget what a mass electronic commerce was before amazon really came along and they really and of course remember the first year of amazon all the problems they had delivering items on christmas and they get this whole huge shipment issue that they solved and now it's kind of the defacto order in place for people and even if they're not going to buy from amazon they're going to amazon to check out the price or find out information on something i guess my concern for amazon is and we should mention too amazon has something called amazon prime concern for and i'm concerned for the billion dollar amazon company now amazon has amazon prime which gives you the free two day shipping but also gives you access to their amazon instant video and that's kind of the offering that you would see i assume on this this box that would allow you to watch television shows movies through this amazon box the problem has been so far there is an instant video is only some devices can use it the great thing about amazon with the kindle we talked about this i can watch show was the kindle software you buy a book one of the you will like to do it but a lot of the google t v stuff you cannot you cannot watch the amazon instant so and there's been this battle between netflix amazon of course hulu being another major player in it and we found this out through our daughter who's obsessed with the globe and programs and they all were on netflix and then suddenly gone and they went to amazon as far as the nickelodeon shows and so we thought well she loves these programs we're going to now buy into the amazon service do you think that there's going to be a future here where they're going to be able to everything's going to be on everything and you're going to be able pick the service you like or is it going to be these exclusives forever which means you've got to pick and choose and you're going to be spending as much money or more than you were on that cable bill i don't know i think cable is a good parallel to make i'm not sure where or how it's going to happen but as long as everyone can make some money off of it it's going to happen that's your first concern too is right now there are way too many people who are offering separate exclusive places for me to get excited or really parallel out and you know on the flip side of this we're talking eight to ten dollars a month which is not a big amount of money but when i'm paying that to four three or four or five different places then i'm starting to get a little turned off i don't want to send it out to a bunch for places really i think i pay forty bucks to get it from everybody like here you go i'll take it from all of us and it all and i mean how many times i upgraded cable packages or you know wireless or whatever just to and have that all inclusive thing that's what's going to have to happen get all of this in one place my gut is people are getting ticked off already at these jumping around and you know your disdain or frustration is a minor one really ok i don't have this anymore now i'll switch to this but let's say i've got something like amazon i paid for a year upfront now they lose the six reasons i picked it up for it and what do i do now do i get a partial refund for that why not renew it do i pick up somebody else  that's going to frustrate consumers eventually long short run whatever so we'll see want to see like in the music industry i don't know if you use my wife loves pandora but it seems like they and i guess i don't use them enough to really notice but it doesn't seem like there is that exclusivity and the music side you're not you know one service doesn't have all the warner brothers artist or something like that  it seems like they've done a good job across the board it would be nice to see either the services do that in on the television a movie side or even better to me i think is that if you could buy directly in essence from the producer of that so you have a c b s app or an a b c app and you can buy the shows or buy the service whatever that you want the one thing we didn't mention too is amazon following on this puts of netfli amazon and microsoft are looking to get into the production side of things as well and they're going to use their own series and again that's a great thing but also a bad thing i mean it's for friends with with netflix with house cards  black that they're producing these programs that are making people want to buy netflix but if there are some great shows here some great shows on amazon there are some great shows and hulu and you're having to then spend more and more money buying i think that could be a major problem but i don't know how do you get over that hurdle of get to keep making great stuff my parallel example or other example of an example is showtime showtime goes into its last season of dexter and certainly not breaking bad over the levels but a lot of people are watching it coming in to the end here and what they do at the end of breaking bad they introduce us to third season of homeland and they pair of homeland with their new masters and johnson mini series or whatever the masters of sex and that's going to get people to oh yeah well i won't cancel dexter i'll keep it going for this time i mean you've got a pretty good reviews and they're pumping up the hype machine on that they're trying to get people aware but in past years we cancelled dexter we canceled showtime the end of dexter this year we still got a call and we've become homeland fans and the smart way to keep that rolling  they've been doing it forever i mean there was show time in cinemax h b o i'm trying to think of what other pay t v services were out there but this company had this movie and this company had that movie so i may have this big blockbuster hit but you've got that big leppard had it out there and then pulled all of it and released a couple things back and wal mart and target and best buy seem to be the only other players with music right now most of that's gone but yeah you've got  crossovers with a lot of those materials and again they're doing little things that pick up but i don't know if it's going to be a long term kind of thing or a short one my guess is eventually it's going to find that you know digital home or place wreck and plug and everything over here but this poor child obscured by the camera that i'm talking to feel like i'm a moron i don't talk to a man i talk to this over here  trying to make that financially feasible one of the major major hurdles for these types of boxes amazon roku whatever has been live sports but there was a rumor going out in the past over the summer that course n interested in at least toying with this idea that they stream to the super bowl for free last year that you're going to come to a point i mean is that will they be able to make enough money do you think obviously these  contract n f l contracts are billions of dollars and most of the networks say we lose money on it we're using it to get the eyeballs that we can promote our shows and it's really what they're trying to do but do you think i selling to individuals would you pay of course and i didn't i still wouldn't i mean i don't watch you know during the regular season six games all the way through and that's my team that's other teams whatever and i'm not even that big a sports fan but i think you could sell that and where they get a real market is out of market teams in other words this could lay itself out to start  with you know new orleans saints selling their season on the internet to someone who doesn't live there or something like that and that's you know an avalanche waiting to happen but that little put out there yeah you know instead of getting this network or this or connection or with the comcast thing called the sanity thing or the name of it is where they get red zone or whatever they just show all of the scoring plays i think there's a market to pay for people to get those games not just a digital download three days later or whatever but also to have them delivered to you live or a live issue where i can watch that game on a regular basis i think there is an opportunity for big networks to do that from what i've seen and i don't have any real experience with it the n f l has whole held on to that a little tighter closer with the person rings and we only have sixteen games but versus something like baseball where you know one hundred sixty two sure you can sell some of these m l b network and some of these the local networks and some somewhere else that's a place where some money could come in and i think honestly somebody like the steelers could sell their franchise games for the year all over the country especially places in a season like this where you know these national games are not going to get promoted outside of those evening games and anywhere outside of pittsburgh area i think you could make some money there especially with your die hard fans sell it beginning of the season and they stink too bad now thanks very much yeah it is an opportunity as long as everyone keeps making money on down the line is that not a big deal the worry is like you said if those networks don't get as much viewer as many viewers and then less traffic for whatever show they're promoting could be dangerous well and i'm wondering too if you could advertisers could target the audiences a little bit better because you could do it on a new visualize basis by the type of person that was on the device  right now because i always think about that about how how so many television advertisements are having their target audience but also many many more people beyond their target audience is a vague passing a big net you know watching the beer ads and i'm thinking of little kids are watching that obviously on the rightly not in the target audience of those things and but then again sometimes they say when you try to narrow the advertising there's less money to be made one of the sayings across haven't jumped on something like this to be a direct line to their fans and i know there are some apps out there that allow them to do that i think there's so much excuse the term here selling out and i was going to i was thinking of a harsher word that sounds a lot like my last name here but it's the only i mean really and the soccer for example you've got teams named after companies i mean the red bull franchise is you know i can you imagine like i don't know the pittsburgh rice krispies playing a football game or something along those lines they've done so much to really sell themselves out already i don't know how much more selling out you can do i mean their uniforms are coded from top to bottom with advertisements for whomever right listen if there is money to be made on it they're doing it because it's not bringing the amount of revenue to make these teams survive so yeah they'd be open for anything if they thought they could make five cents on it or increase their profit by a tenth of a percent they're going to do it but it's an embarrassment to watch some of these games with the constant stuff on things and all over the place  for the n f l europe games they were an embarrassment with the amount of stuff on people and fields and whatever right remind me a lot of major league soccer you know and so it's going to be here is a c e o says just a rumor as they've pretty much made no with the kindle ok are we making money on the nice we want you in our store items in our devices and our services and they're holding the purse strings close on the electronic content i mean that that that content is to them cost less and the more you spend on again and p three s on television whatever that's profit for them so if they can encourage you to spend more on whatever else they're going to do it so and one last thing on the amazon front a story kind of missed over the summer but it's finalizing this this past week jeff bezos who's the c e o of amazon one of the true geniuses of the internet world just himself not amazon but he himself bought the washington post newspaper for two hundred fifty million dollars any guesses as to why the c e o of amazon wants to buy a newspaper not a newspaper well one of the right i mean we're not talking again the post or observe reporter and we're talking about a well respected news organization and that is going to be leveraged to quiet some of the outrage against him or promote some of the goodness within him i mean that's like shoe influence out there that i can really hunt for for news i mean so much is still so prejudiced i'm not saying you know newspaper is not but it still has a very respected sense about itself and especially something like the post and you see through the years you mean things that i watch i mean there's a heavy emphasis on and sixty's kitsch and before that i love the things that i love to mean trying to think of some of the all remember that remember that rumor that and then what i didn't get the most is at the end they got this nineteen year old kid using a watch and i thought to myself ok what are you trying to say there but the best way i can yet but i think it could be successful i think its biggest downfall is going to be that tiny screen what can i do with something that small but yeah it could be a real communication device or bring back communication as far as voice instead of just text so that's going to be it's a concern or maybe there's a good voice interpreter on it something where i can speak into it and that transfers over but my sense is that a phone again and not just a device so who knows what do you think would you be interested in what i buy  computing it's interesting because obviously this is the galaxy gear is going to be tied to a samsung phone really what you're doing is you're saving that time that you pull the phone out to look so you go in here i got notification i got a phone call versus here as opposed to taking out your pocket well i guess if you've got it you know you know a watch something you always have on your the phone some people some people carry it very close to them some people have it back pocket though some might have a person or whatever but i don't know i think that everybody in their brother is jumping in on this market i'm going to talk about it for ages right and whether they're actually doing it or have an sampson's case made it or rumored to do it like in the case of apple i don't know of course google has their google glass experiment that they're working on right now i don't know if that's something that people are going to be interested and i mean if they feel like they're missing then again how many times there are people every five seconds checking their phone checking their phone one of the great new features of the the motorola moto x is that it it gives you a little  you know grabs that kitchen a sound right and whether that can relate it to something good and i think there's definitely there are uses for this beyond just making it tied to the this is the time for it speaking of the time we're almost out of time gravity how in the world good god rather you pull in fifty five million dollars this past weekend people must be russia to this weekend is a very interesting combination captain phillips of course which is tom hanks as the pyre the pirate he wasn't a pirate he's fighting the pirates pirates the captain the ship  kills are going up against each other so i think if you're making break moment for tom hanks i think if this doesn't bring in any kind of money he may be past that level of getting and i mean how many films as he had in the last six seven years that have just been what happened with that i mean what was the what was the super odd one with the parallel storytelling back and forth remember that with the crazy make up and maybe i'm throwing things out break moment because it is getting such great reviews in advance but if it doesn't make some money could be you know that's a signaling end of his career but certainly is power is a strong industry force maybe even poor decision mak
