For a long time, the high charge of cable TV is a problem that the majority of users hope that the radio and television network company will respond to and solve. However, for various reasons, it is always impossible to provide an effective solution that does not affect the revenue of cable TV and allows users to be satisfied with the charge. Since cable TV operators cannot provide a solution to reduce fees, it is better for consumers to rely on themselves to explore effective fee reduction solutions.
First, before the formation of the cable TV fee reduction scheme, we analyze the mainstream video products and advantages on the current market.
1. Cable TV is a traditional video service product, because of its longest development time, the greatest impact on the middle-aged and elderly, but it seems that the users of the 80s have not liked cable TV very much, the reason is mainly because this product is old-fashioned, old-fashioned and not innovative, not only the carousel film and television dramas are old, variety shows are old, even the core content - news programs are not "fresh" enough, so cable TV is being eliminated.
2. IPTV is actually similar to cable TV at the source, especially the channel content of each TV station is from radio and television, and then the content of film and television dramas is not much stronger than cable TV, the only difference is cheap, in most regions of the integration package, IPTV charges only 10 yuan / month, some regions can even free for new users for 1 to 2 years.
3. Smart TV. The TVs currently sold on the market are basically smart televisions (OTTs). Since smart TVs have built-in OTT functions, after the Internet connection, the TV can be turned on to receive all kinds of programs, and the difference between cable TV and IPTV TV is that smart TV does not have live channel content. In addition, due to the lagging supervision of smart TVs, members are flying all over the world of random charges, even if users are shrewd, it is difficult to escape the pit of "random charging". Therefore, for impulse consumer users, it is not recommended to use the built-in video platform of smart TV, and it is easy to fall into the "pit".
4. Internet Video. At present, the mainstream Internet video platforms are iQ Yi, T News Video, Y Cool, this kind of video platform is more rich in the configuration of film and television dramas, if you usually like to chase dramas then you must choose these Internet video platforms. However, in recent years, in order to further increase revenue, these platforms have made divisions or restrictions on the membership of the online at the same time, screen projection function and membership level, and the purpose is also to find ways to charge, but compared with the random charging of smart TVs, the charges of these Internet video platforms are relatively clear, and users can choose the corresponding level of membership according to their needs.
2. Formulate a fee reduction plan
1. Reduce the cost of cable TV, avoid being marketed and buy a large and complete package, so as to control the consumption of cable TV from the source. For example, if you usually only watch some major live channels such as CCTV, there is no need to buy interactive value-added products, which can save at least half of the cost.
2. In the use of smart TV can not escape the trap of "random charges", simply avoid it, keep using its built-in OTT function, use the smart TV as a TV display, which can avoid unexpected expenses caused by impulse consumption, especially to prevent the elderly and children at home may bring you a bunch of unwarranted bills because of smart TV on-demand and membership purchases.
3. If you refine the drama, you can choose in the mainstream Internet video products, and for the on-demand of new films will require a member, so ordering membership is also necessary, but the membership permissions of various grades are still different, and there is a big gap in the charge, so you also need to be cautious in the purchase of members, "only buy the right, not expensive."
In short, in 2023, we can fully rely on our own judgment and choice to formulate a cable TV fee reduction plan, while controlling video consumption expenditure, but also ensuring good viewing demand. Welcome to propose a cable TV fee reduction plan according to your actual situation for your reference and discussion whether it is feasible.
