   Why would I subscribe to a service that I wouldn't be able to use?  I'm   
   guessing that a significant percentage of people who have new hardware   
   and the latest software won't be able to stream it since that appears to   
   be the case with every other streaming service.  (Hell, YOUTUBE   
   sometimes throttles their feed to me!)  And I don't have anything close   
   to "current" H/W or S/W.  I can't afford the new hardware and the new   
   software won't run on what I do have.
