Sorry but i already have a TV and it has it's uses for me and i don't need to pay for exclusivity unless there's wrestling PPV's on there.
I just have a small whiny little thing to bring up. I find the poll options a little... non-representing. A simple 'yes' or 'no' would have done fine, so why put those little bits on the end. I say this because I don't watch television. So when I say no, I want to mean "no I don't want the channel". I don't want it to mean "no, because I have other means to watch television" because I don't and still don't want it despite that fact. I'm not saying that I want a special option just for me because I feel the options are biased, but I think that this is a case where simplicity would have done some real good. I want to be part of these votes, I believe the purpose of these is to get an idea of as much of the 'Pist's opinion as can be gathered, and so those poll options seem a bit off.
You just managed to sum up my feelings exactly.Grouchy Imp said:
The fact I also don't own an Xbox doesn't help its case either.
Just in general (I don't have an XBox), it would depend on the cost, and what content was shown.
If it was $5/mo, and included some cool stuff like exclusive developer interviews, promos, and maybe some original programming (The Guild 30 minute version? That would be awesome).
Then yes, I'd shell out.

this, times a thousand. they already have samurai Jack, but I don't have enough for it, so it's a pass for now. but I would get it if they had boomerang or something like that.Irridium said:
I said yes, only because I didn't think first on the fact that I already pay for live, so I would change my vote to no.Greyfox105 said:
If I could get to watch Doctor Who on my TV, then it would be the only thing I watched on it, but I don't get BBC America which, if I remember correctly, airs the new episodes a day or so after they air on the BBC.
Though I can't complain, only a few days after the new episodes air, someone always ports them onto megavideo.com, and then I just plug my computer into my TV and watch them at normal size like I would if I did get a channel that aired them. It might not be the exact quality of video from watching it from a channel broadcast, but it's only slightly off and I still get the great Doctor goodness.
I wasn't sure about this new Doctor when they chose him, but he has grown on me after I have watched all his new episodes. I get the feeling that he has absorbed the styles of several Doctors. I can see bit of Tennant, Eccleston, Davison, and also some Tom Baker. Also the choice of the bow-tie he wears, it is very Patrick Troughton.
Well, if I actually had Xbox Live, then I may consider this, depending, of course, on what the channel actually offered. If it was just a bunch of trivial crap which I wouldn't have bothered watching anyway, then I certainly wouldn't pay anything, regardless of how cheap it was.
If the bandwidth used doesnt count towards my monthly limit, then maybe. If there were something good on.
No, for various reasons. Primarily I don't own a X-Box 360, secondly I have everything I want to watch saved on my PC.
New programs are introduced to me when I visit my parents in Devon, then I get home and d/l them if I can from some where and marathon watch it.
