Ron_Artest 1,263 Posted January 13, 2024 12 hours ago, Horseman said: That's true. In the beginning though it was for a bunch of extra cable only channels in addition to the VHF and UHF frequencies. You paid the premium for for all the extra channels. OTA TV was slow to catch up so pretty soon for the vast majority of people cable or dish were your only options. The cable companies became a monopoly of an industry and past time that the majority of the population used everyday. And they used to be able to enjoy it for free, paid for solely by the commercials. Now you're paying twice (subscription and commercials) and sometimes a third time (hidden fees). The secret they want to keep you from learning is that once the signals became digitized, and internet speed surpassed video size, cable technology is obsolete. Now it's our turn. We're going to watch TV for free again and this time without commercials (besides live).  You mean by illegal piracy? What a low character penny pincher you are!!!

thegeneral 3,067 Posted January 13, 2024 I got to say Comcast has pretty decent service these days at least in my area. Prolly could save about 50 bucks a month if I really dig into all the various services and doing this stuff a la carte. But I just don’t give a shet and care to look into it. I somehow have this Peacock stuff and they keep saying they are going to charge but then they postpone it or I have it through some other deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseman 2,438 Posted January 13, 2024 Once you have more than enough money to live comfortably what do you spend the excess money on? Diamonds is a pretty smart idea for several reasons. - makes the wife happy. - never goes down in value (that's called an investment for the retards) - is almost as good as currency in any country 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
