Cancelled my cable tv today. I don't know if it will only equate to being on the computer more.
I am doing it for to save alittle scratch (70/month) and stop subjecting myself to the bs on tv. As for Spurs basketball and Worldcup? Ill figure something out.

that guy beating the thug in that video is kinda a small internet celeb. He is seen in a video getting tased at a baseball game, and lately being interviewed post bus fight. He is insane but a bad-ass, just goes to show, just cause you present yourself to look like a badass doesn't mean shiiiii (aka badasses with cornrows, tattoos, ed hardy, etc.)
Ed Hardy makes you a badass? When did that happen?
I did this for awhile. I realized how stupid the networks think we are. Oprah became a favorite, as did PBS. The local news was unbearable.
You won't miss much. I rarely have my tv on before 10:30pm unless there's a Spurs game on. The reality tv trend just totally turned me off to it all.
download boxee and you'll be good.
Man, and this awesome show is premiering tomorrow. Oh well.
Eloquently put.
I'll probably to something similar when I move. I'll get a fast internet connection and watch all my tv online. I watch half my shows there anyway.
Not counting Spurs games, I watch less than 1 hour of TV a week and sometimes zero time at all.
It's way better, trust me. You'll be surprised at the things you can accomplish with the 2-3 hours you watch TV a night.
So true.
Cant forget about tapout and affliction wearing tool belts who wouldn't even know how to wrap their hands
I've been thinking of canceling my cable as well. The kids no longer live at home, and I rarely watch it. I watch plenty of TV programs, but a year late. When I see a program I like, I buy the season series, then watch it as time permits, without those annoying commercials.
I am so behind as it is. I have the 3rd season of Dexter and haven't watched it yet. Same with the 4th and 5th season of Weeds. Some of the older stuff takes priority. I still need to buy the 8th to 10th season of JAG. I bought and watched Stargate Universe, in Blu-ray, and watched it all the day it was released. Weeds 5th season is still in the wrapper, but it's at least Blu-Ray too.
me neither. I hardly even watch TV anymore, except for spurs games, and I am hardly even watching those anymore. TV is just something to connect my dvd player to.
a have cable, but mostly just for my son.
Digital Antenna offers superb picture quality. Best of all...it's free.
you missed a great hockey game......sucks for you.
I keep the cable mostly for the kids, but I've noticed that if the tv isn't on when they get home from school, they don't bother with it. And I keep it because I really love classic movies, so about once a week I'll check the schedule on TCM and sometimes I find something I'd like to see.
Yes, a good antenna works fine for the QAM signal.
Please don't call it a digital antenna. There is no such thing. A digital signal in placed in the baseband of the analog carrier, but there is no such thing as a digital radio wave.

I'm sorry, QAM is used for HDTV on cable. It can be used, and is better for radio transmissions. However, 8VSB has been chosen because it is compatible with existing radio transmitters.
Damn cheapskates.
