My wife an I just canceled our Dish Network subscription. We got tired
of paying over$100.00 a month for a boob tube. I mean, they brag about
all the "channels" they offer, and if you want something specific you
have to take the :"package" just to get the programming you want,
like about 20 so called radio channels, countless home shopping
network stations, and a bunch of others you couldn't give a rats hind
end for.

Wish their was true ala carte TV. What's happening now is you're
subsidizing stuff you don't care about.
Probably all those big sports salaries is a big part of the cost.
On top of that seems there are more commercials than ever, so the
cable/dish operators are double-dipping.
Wish I could talk my wife into giving up the shows she likes,
then I would go cold turkey on cable TV. No chance, won't even try.
