I remember that from when I had to sell Dish Network. No two people agree on what the right set of channels are, but they all agree that the channels they want should be in the cheaper package. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hammett" < af...@ics-il.net > To: af@afmug.com Sent: 2/23/2018 8:40:11 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RodeoTV vs. RealChoice TV " a set of the channels folks want to watch" That's going to be even harder than a full line-up OTT. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Hoppes" < mattli...@rivervalleyinternet.net > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, February 23, 2018 6:08:14 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RodeoTV vs. RealChoice TV It’s why I’ve held off for as long as I have. None of the options were right. They either required expensive private lines, or the costs were so high I ended up making no profit and I felt like it was too expensive to try to sell to the end user. Or the quality of the feed was junk. Just give me a set of the channels folks want to watch for $30-$40/month and I can sell it. I can’t sell a service where I need a $1,500/month private line. Or where the monthly rate ends up being $60 when I mark it up. Or where the provider takes their entire head end down for a day while they move it.
