Why do I have to have a TV package to watch online content with NBC when I have a paid internet subscription? Paying for internet service to watch streaming video should be enough. I am watching this on my computer, not my TV and should not be penalized for a free service that NBC is suppose to be providing.
NBC is not providing a free service. They need to get paid or they won't provide it! When someone subscribes to FiOS TV (or another provider) that TV subscription is how they get paid. So, you aren't being penalized, you are paying for services rendered. Premium sports channels are just like the premium movie channels. Pay or don't watch.
