Cable hasn't been ad free for 30 years so don't act like it's some new service just turned up with false promises. They made it maybe 5-7 years before they started piling on advertisement supported content to bloat up the number of channels.
As for Blu-ray Disc Understand my point of view.. I didn't give a shit about what kind of disc it could play of how they spell it. I bought the damn thing because it was on sale and could stream Netflix & Hulu. I just wanted to retire an the old PC I used for streaming media that was dumping tons of heat into an overloaded cabinet.
As for my Mon's computer.. Hell yeah she knows.. She buys a new one almost every year. I set it up for her and take the old one home. I'm not to proud to pass up a free nearly new PC only used by a little old lady to program her sewing machine and load Barry Manalow tunes on her iPod.
