DISQUS

Great comments above. One point that hasn't been made is the nature of the question. The question is based on the premise that as a consumer, the purchase of hardware would be required to view an undefined internet television product. Had the question been phrased as, "How much would you pay to watch your favorite television shows, movies, internet shows whenever you wanted at a per-view download rate?" I believe the results would be more encouraging. Even more, to tap/generate a market for such services, consumers need to be provided with a vision of the value proposition such technology provides. The average person doesn't buy hardware, they buy entertainment. If content providers have learned anything from the music industry, they'll view the impending marriage of television and the internet as a new business model from which profits can be made rather than a threat to their current advertising-based business.
