to which I nearly took the guy's head off.


No box, no TV, stop charging me, and they suck at closing, no special deals at all.


They are so fucking stupid. My nice Sony fractionalized channels, so I FOUND 2-13 on channels 194.2. etc in HD through 195. Problem solved. Free TV, no box, no cost. They can't pull the cable out of the apartments.


Fuck them.

Get internet from them too. Only high speed in our area. Used to have direct tv and liked it even less. They all suck.

because they can.


We are being eaten alive.

For Internet, Cable and phone service, I pay $158 a month.

fucking rip off.

is that all the people trying to save money by streaming through Hulu on the net or on Roku instead of buying cable will be screwn because...

1. Hulu plans to require people to prove they purchase cable in order to use the service

and

2. ISP's plan to change their pricing structures to charge by use...so people who watch a lot of video online will pay a lot more.

Remember when TV was free? And remember when cable first came on the scene? We were told that, since we would be paying for the cable service, there would be no commercials in the programming.

Now the number of commercials keeps increasing even for services that you PAY to use on the internet that you also PAY to use. Hulu Plus keeps adding commercials and reducing user features. And the networks are getting outrageous. TVLand now sometimes runs THREE (typically 30-minute) sitcoms in a two-hour period instead of four, with up to 20 commercials in a row.

I am sure the day will soon come when you cannot sit on the toilet without first hearing a commercial.
