 | do without Watch consumers go without cable tv.. Direct-Tv is going to bring this upon itself.. that is, a shrinking consumer base with this round of price increases.. let the backlash begin. Consumers who refuse to pay this round of increases won't be running to a wired provider, they will do without any provider. |

It's free, and looks good if you get a decent signal. It's only a matter of time before better stuff starts to show up on the digital sub channels. There is a lot of money to be had with advertising on niche channels... now stations can have not one, but four channels on the same frequency, and in 2009, 70 million people will be forced to upgrade and there will be a lot more eyeballs. So the content will improve and you will be able to get a lot of free TV soon. |

 | I'd do that if i could get a lot of the channels i watch on cable OTA. But not gonna happen with channels like HGTV, BET, Comedy Central. etc. |
