I've just about had it with the cable company. I am paying over 10 bucks per month for "taxes, fees,...etc". I pay 9 dollars for digital service? Why do I have to pay for that? Will I still have to pay that after the digital transmission law becomes active? I pay 8 bucks for my 1 convertor box. Per month. ridiculous.
I have been looking at alternatives, and I am starting to wonder if I should just watch all of my TV via the web? It's like having a 1 day time-delayed DVR. Really, I have checked, and the 8 tv shows I watch are all available on the web for free. Well, I would have to watch the commercials, but watching it for free might be worth it. I have a nice computer that can connect to my nice tv.
I can only see 1 downside to this plan. No HBO, Showtime, etc. So, I would have to go to Netflix or Blockbuster to rent those 6 months later when they come out on DVD. Do I really need to see any of this stuff right away? I'd have to make sure I stay away from the water cooler at work. I don't want someone telling me what happened last night on Lost.... hmmmm. I gotta go. I need to sign up for netflix.
