Easy there, I am in need of that coupon and appreciate the link.
Just because you have internet does not mean you have the means to shell out the dough to pay for television every month thru cable companies.

So yes I have internet, thru work and no I do not have cable tv.
Air reception only

Growing up, no one had to pay to watch TV. Look where we have gone. And those cable T.V providers are just another service looking to be regulated. Shame on them.

Swimmer · 03-26-2009, 10:36 AM

I have one tv on direct tv and two others on rabbit ears.

No Cable for me in Truro. I got boxes last year. Was surprised at the huge improvement. a lot of sub-channels and clear picture.

I already picked up my box, just waiting for them to cut over ... As a FYI you will need an antenna as well .
I was told it will not work with out one!

the problem with TV now

even though the $ price $ for reception
is getting way out of control

is that your Paying to watch More
commercial advertising in time than
you are the program you want to see.

we've totally lost the continuity now

so much so, that by the time you watch your tenth
or twelfth commercial you've forgotten
the plot of the original program.

it just plain sucks

I've kept cable, but I've given up on people and saved a lot of money that way.

Raven · 03-26-2009, 03:23 PM

your ahead of the curve then

I F'n hate Comcast. My bill last month was $240!!

They decided to double it for no reason. Two phone calls to them, and 45 minutes of my wasted time and they corrected the problem and gave me $20 credit towards next month.

Every month is some new charge or billing error, seriously considering direct tv but I will still have to use Comcast for internet.

Did you know your business has a fantastic logo?

Now if you could only ensure it's proportioned correctly.

Everything seems to get distorted - that's why I've decided to stay out of the political forum.

Vineyard- Try hooking your box up now. You might find that it works and your reception will improve. I've had mine hooked up since December.

I don't have cable either. Use my neighbor's wireless, and have no home phone, only cell. Dropped cable last summer. I realized that all I watched on cable was sports. Now I head to a friends house or bar when there is a sporting event I need to watch.

macojoe · 03-27-2009, 12:02 PM

I got my boxes a few weeks ago, I have Fios and don't need them. But I have a camper that we use every summer and that has regular TV and will be using it for that.
