Michael and Marshal,
I am a listener of the Down Range Radio podcast and began a subscription to MyOutdoorTV when it became available several months ago. Since dropping cable over a year ago, I was looking forward to catching up on the current Shooting Gallery, Gun Stories and The Best Defense programs.
I don’t know how much control you both have regarding how your programming is released, but as a consumer, I would like to explain why I have decided to cancel my MOTV subscription.
1. Cost – The current price of $9.99 per month is too high for archived previous season content that is more than year old. The current content delivery model may serve as a supplement to the cable broadcast channel but cannot replace it. For the current subscription rate, I would expect current content to be released at the same time as it appears on the cable channel. (Think HBO Go.) At the very least, programming should be released as soon as the programming season concludes. For the current "previous seasons" content, I would expect to pay $2.99 - $4.99 a month, and free access to cable subscribers.
2. Viewing options – Viewing content on my PC or tablet rather than my television is a serious convenience issue. A ROKU app is a necessity.
With that said, MyOutdoorTV has high potential and I applaud your efforts, especially with additions like Shooting Gallery Online. With the future addition of a ROKU app and a rebalancing of cost and/or content availability, I look forward to returning as a subscriber.
Kindest regards,
Bill W.
