CNBC Plus is a relatively new service from CNBC. The compelling reason to subscribe to this service is that you get access to over 30,000 videos.
There are two sections: On Demand and Live streaming. The live streaming is pretty self-explanatory – you tune in to CNBC as if you’re using a TV. (click to view the whole screen)
The “On demand” section provides you with access to shows you’ve missed. Or at least, that’s the theory. In practice, I wasn’t able to find a particular show I wanted to see again. It could be a search issue – the search is a FAR cry from Google Video.
The search results seem totally irrelevant - probably for lack of good meta data describing the video. You can still select from 10 or topical channels like Global stories, US stories, Europe stories, etc.
Is it worth $14 a month? I’d say it depends if you have easy access to CNBC or not. The videos are a bit slow and you’ll have a hard time to find a specific show you’ve missed. Till the end of June, CBNC has a special offer – $9.99 per month, so if it sounds like a deal – hurry up.

This service sucks bigtime. Constant run arounds about fixing the feed. Buffer delays – complete feed drops – video / audio sync problems. And “Customer Care” DOESN’T. One of the first things out of their mouth when I contacted them “Would you like me to cancel your account?” NO !!! Fix your crap so it runs right !!!!
