digital content

DirecTV and its competitors, including Google’s (GOOGL, -0.34%) YouTube TV and Dish Network’s (DISH, +1.99%) Sling TV, sure seem like a better deal than cable. The cost is lower, the apps are capable, and the interactive channel guide is great. That’s probably why cord cutting is accelerating.

From the article "A Cord Cutter's Life For Me: Replacing Cable With Internet TV" by Aaron Pressman.
