It certainly is the future of television, but it still can't replace the old fashioned cable TV for home because of some technicalities that are so hard to understand.

Cable TV is a good thing to have at home. Cable TV provides us entertainment packages for us to see at our own Television Set. The only difference between Cable TV and Online streaming is the content shown at the same moment. HooQ and other online sites offers you to watch what your heart desired at any moment of the day... as long as you have internet connection. Unlike in Cable TV, if you are tuning in a series, you have to wait for a specific time to follow the story of the series that are you following.
