| I'd Like It To be honest, I'm in the very small minority of people who don't subscribe to satellite or cable. I live a life without TV channels, and I assure you, it's possible. I do this because as a child I grew up without it and I never developed the habit.
Nowadays, I really do believe in the saying "television rots your brain." It also seems that it's 50% ads, 49% junk, and 1% worth watching, so I'm not inclined to subscribe.
But, there are/were certain TV shows that I've liked. If I could get just those, and nothing else (not even ads), I might subscribe then. I might even subscribe if I can get pay-per-view without channels, as an alternative to renting VHS and DVD. Yes, I do have a TV, but it's just for the Nintendo, some VHS and DVD, and rented VHS and DVD.
What I wouldn't want to pay for is all the junk and crap that I don't care about (such as MTV...they don't have any real music anyway), and it seems that many if not most agree with me.
But for now, I'll just rely on renting VHS and DVD, maybe buying a copy if I like it enough and don't feel cheap. |
