At $10 bucks a month, this is a huge step for them, but i will probably end up diving in due to the promise of much more content. Does anyone know or have any opinion as to whether it will be coming to Android later, and if so, how it will run. Chances are i'll use it much more than Netflix, so maybe I'll just trade the two of them out and keep the budget on the same track.

I'm just looking for input here, hopefully somebody has more info than i do.
I think this concept is fatally flawed for TV shows at least. It seems that the major networks only care about the Nielsen ratings systems. Everyone who winds up watching their favorite shows through other means like this only contribute to the shows cancellation.

I also heard that even though you're paying for the content they will still show commercials occasionally so why even bother to pay for it then?

Just my 2 cents...
