They are raising prices. Surprised they've kept it up this long. Best way to stop it is to not consume it. Let them work harder. Now if we can get those sports fans to stop being such suckers..

Our local PBS channel provides us with BBC shows. You might also get streaming stuff from BBC America website.

or watch ted videos, there is also salman khan documentaries, and finally netflix has a shitload of documentaries.

Try getting the leaf antenna, it works pretty good. Costco has a competitor as well. I got about 30 channels. Admittedly I live on top of a hill with a clear view of everything. http://www.gomohu.com/

Plus, you're still paying for college. Most of youngsters are saddled with debt, they don't have money. So they pick the services they most critically need and that is usually a cell phone and internet. Everything is possible with just those two.

That really makes me mad. Isn't there any ethical people there at all?

+1, it's just as exciting as watching it. :)

Just listen to it on the radio. :-) You can always go back and look at the video highlights later. Sure, it's not the same as watching it live, but they are screwing you over.

I don't understand why they are tying it to a cable subscription? Netflix is doing the right thing. They are doing an awesome job. I hope they grow big enough to just by a studio. I will continue to throw money at them as I like their model over the others. We should always be throwing money at companies who disrupt the status quo.

Read the books. :-) If he bothers to finish the damn series. I read two books of his and it looked like it was going to go the way of Dragon Reborn series and I promptly stopped. It took him years to come out with a new book. He's dead to me. I got plenty of other book series that I can read now instead of that.

Ten years ago, I was paying about $10 dollars for basic basic cable. You can still get it, but you have to ask for it. Otherwise they sell you extended cable. Basic cable is just the local channels and that's pretty much it. Of course, I can get that for free using OTA antennae. I have 30 channnels using digital OTA. Some of them are redundant, but I find myself watching unique shows. The only thing I miss is the cable access channel. Otherwise, I am good. My wife watches re-runs on netflix, and has switched to watching youtube for particular shows. Hell my wife repairs appliances watching youtube shows. :D

the sports junkie pay about 200 bucks a month for their sports. What the hell? That's an enormous amount of money to pay for a pleasurable past time. In the old days, we would all be able to watch it on weekends and occasional evenings. But these days if you want HD sports, you have to pay extra, if you want to get into their walled garden, extra. It's just sad. Plus you get a bunch of crap you dont' even want. I cut cable long ago, and I certainly don't need to watch sports. I'll go and see it live and support my team and my infrastructure instead of giving my money to a bunch of assholes.

We don't have time for that. Daryl Issa wants to talk about Benghazi and is ready to spend millions on his little witch hunt. Daryl Issa (I keep wanting to say Daryl Hannah) wastes more of my money than anybody else. At least they aren't going on junkets like they did back in the early 2000s.

It's about 20 minutes on a supercharger, which by the way is free. So you can literally go for instance down the I-5 corridor from Oregon to Califronia and pay nothing to charge your car. You do sacrifice some time though, but so what? It's scheduling at this point.. as battery tech gets better being able to tool aroudn the country without paying is a great perk.

Good point. Still seems like a ton of effort. I guess if you do find a good doctor it will end well, one hopes.
