I know I'm odd, but I cannot get over why anyone would PAY to watch TV. I have an antennae and get 7 crisp digital channels that are more than adequate. Before it went digital last year I only got 4 channels. While in transition, I wasn't sure how well digital was going to work for me because I live down in a hole about 35 miles from the source of all the broadcasting.
I figured if I couldn't get anything, the hell with it. My only other option would be a dish (no cable here) and that might not even work because of hills and trees. But I ain't paying, and if over the air (OTA) wouldn't work I simply would have stopped watching TV.
If I was closer to the city I would get at least another half dozen channels, ALL FREE, ALL DIGITAL. Paying to watch TV, especially when loaded with at least as much advertising as OTA, simply doesn't mesh with my thinking. I know tons of people who complain about money, yet it never enters their mind that $50-$75 a month could be saved by getting off cable. And a lot of these people are closer to the city and could easily get a dozen channels all free.
Oh well, to each his own.
