Re: Say goodbye to ClearQAM

TV IMHO is a dying medium, nothing to watch but advertizements and crap. The whole thing is a waste. I'm ready to cut it and save $140.00 a month

Very timely article today (link below) from today's Kansas City Star that supports your statement..

TV Set ownership declines for the first time!

Only issue I would have would be live sports. The local broadcasts only cover the NFL well, everything else requires cable/telco. I'm a huge sport fanatic so that would be a non-starter for me.

I wonder at what point one or more of the networks will cease network broadcasting on their OTA stations. I don't mean go off the air, but air different programming that what you would see on cable/satellite/whatever-you-must-pay-for.

It will probably start with the O&O's, but could become national.

Not an issue for me as I don't watch sports. That's just another hook corporate america has in the masses.

So then why are you trolling a Comcast cable message board?
