I don’t pay for cable. MTV doesn’t play music videos and all the educational channels are reality TV shows now. Why pay for that garbage?
It is depressing when you think that TCL was originally a joint venture between the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and NASA.
Fittingly we now have Myrtle Manor. The people we wanted to show the stars are now the “stars”.

My DirecTv bill went up from $54/mo the first to over $120/mo. I told them to stick it!! Miraculously, my bill came back down.

Why pay money to watch endless commercials, “reality shows”, and infomercials????
A long time ago, cable had some fun, entertaining, stuff. As Nolff said below, MTV used to play music videos. Of course, this was the eighties, when there was good music and great videos to watch.
Now, you get to watch a bunch of retarded rednecks trying to molest gators, trying to molest bigfoot, doing other stupid redneck things, and endless commercials and you get charged out the ass for it. Every time I visit family or friends who have cable, it only reinforces to me that I made the correct decision in dumping cable, several years ago. You just don’t get anything worth the money you pay for it.

Hopefully these companies will be forced to go down on their prices as a result of people leaving en masse for alternatives like Netflix.
… AND improve their programming!

i have been without cable or satelite tv for well over 2 years and the only thing i miss is espn…but not enough to pay $60/mo (the non-promotional rate for basic cable) for 98 chanels dont want or could get for free online through that network’s web page or netflix/hulu/amazon.
also some interesting food for thought. in the UK and much of europe you pay a “tax” for every TV in your home. the revenues go to pay the broadcast companies so that they can produce shows. In America we have commercial sales to fund the same companies….so let me ask you this: why are you paying for your subscription AND watching commercials?

I dropped cable over 7 months ago and don’t miss it one bit. I love Hulu, Netflix and my local library! I have saved so much money and my kids are no longer slaves to the idiot box.
