And even , tho I do not subscribe for the movie channels, in the channel guide even those list the same movies all month long! What gives with that! Glad I don't pay for those!! T.V. I am beginning to wonder if I can do without! I depend on the news and like to see their video news coverage, but I am seriously considering turning off service. And I noticed my radio doesn't bring in a descent signal anymore. Will we be all forced to subscribe to Syrius Radio and such and pay to listen to that now! Just my thoughts!!

I don't care for the heavily scripted fake reality shows like Survivor. There are a few shows I like but even they seem to get stale after a few episodes. When I watch tv I want to be entertained, I want to escape the reality of day to day living--not have someone else's day to day living piped into my home. So, mostly I turn it off or watch the history channel or the discovery channel.

Imy place is beneath a small hill, I don't get good reception on the cell phone, wonder how the reception for an antenna will be like,

and yes the cable, satellite and the other one, they all give a bunch of channels we don't watch. I accidentally got onto a contract with this cable here in Raleigh, but when it is over, I plan to cancel cable, keep Road runner(online computer, etc) and get me an antenna, and just use hulu. and can get the various channels online to watch the shows! got netflix too, can rent from redbox too! so whats the problem?? Me!
