That’s it.
We’ve had it.
Collectively. All three of us.
The cable company model is so bassackwards it’s not even funny. The crap the TV stations put out and then the cable company only lets us “buy” it in massive blocks of supposedly market segmented channels.
We realized recently that we watch less than 2 hours of cable TV each week. For which we paid some $50+. We tend to watch one of two channels. The remaining channels on the bloody system were totally worthless. On most channels we wouldn’t watch the few shows we were interested in because the commercials were obnoxious and offensive.
Today we shut it off. For the $50+ dollars we save we can download shows we really want (For me the SciFi Friday lineup) from iTunes or wait to the end of the season and get the DVD.
Funnily enough if Comcast would have given us the option of buying channels à la carte, even charging a per channel premium for it, we would have kept it. As is… No more cable. DVDs, Netflix, and iTunes thank you very much. And we’ll still save money.
