I'm for anything that provides competition to cable. Where I live there are only two choices: Time Warner (expensive and sucks) and local provider (sucks more). I would love to call TWC and tell them to pick up their ****.

And how is this different than Chromecast and Roku?

Nuclius is NOTHING like SlingTV®, FireTV®, Netflix®, Chromecast®, Vudu®, AppleTV® etc. With Nuclius, you will enjoy all of the Live TV content that you receive from Cable or Satellite. You have access to all local, basic Cable, enhanced Cable and Premium Cable Networks. There are No Apps to install or run.
We don't and won't do business like Cable/Satellite. We provide the absolute best Bang-for-the-Buck available in TV. For starters, all the Hidden Fees and Extras you're paying for now have been eliminated. You own your Ursa(s), so you no longer have to pay the $6-$12 per month per antiquated "Box" for years on end. Those savings alone will pay for your Ursa(s). There are also no more monthly HD, DVR, 3D, App or other creative fees. Nuclius is simple. No games. You get all of the Pros that Pay-TV has to offer without any of the Cons of Cable/Satellite. And our Top-Tier Celestial Package is unrivaled. Have a look and see the difference!

Why would someone that absolutely needs cable service not make that a contingency of sale?

Good point !
