I vote for “cancel your cable.”
I remember when TV was free, and the broadcasts “Were in the Public Interest”
I must be old
It also doesn't help we moved from an area of California that only had Comcast or AT&T for Internet services to an area of Texas with only AT&T or Suddenlink (I hear the latter is horrible). Seems damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Don’t have cable - not interested in supporting any sports team anymore. The SJW, snowflakes have taken over. I voted with my feet.
NBA players are really complaining about food..and then there is this:
“Kings center Richaun Holmes crossed the the Disney campus line to pick up delivery food and must quarantine for 10 days (eight days remaining).”
btw, if anyone wants to watch brit shows you can get rolling 7 day free access to Acorn TV through your local library if they participate in the program
you can also watch 10 free shows a month with Hoopla
They're trying to "socialize" TV viewing so that you can't vote with your feet.
I was just forced to accept another 10 years of the Oprah channel because my moronic HOA re-signed with Comcast.
I do watch some FOX, but other than that, IMO TV/cable is nothing more than a vast wasteland which is exclusively dedicated to feeding the leftwing of society. Fine. YOU pay for that, not me.
I really thought I would miss it. I don't miss it at all and feel great saving $90+ a month.
I cut the cable 10 years ago
Be smart and “cut the cord”.
Watch internet TV only and shift to the radio for sports.
Over the radio it’s even more exciting.
Where are you? Probably a tax for a stadium. That’s how they like to fund those things, taxes on hotel rooms and cable bills and stuff. $1 here $2 there pretty soon you paid for a stadium. Which is why they can’t remove it, not their choice. Think of it like the Spanish American war tax we used to have on our phone bills. 108 years we were paying for that war.
They are not a government agency. If you don’t want to pay them, disconnect and get your stuff elsewhere.
They still have to pay those fees (if it is a fee on the bill, it is not going to the company, its going somewhere else.)
I don’t like what they charge for milk at the local grocer. I buy it somewhere else.
I ditched cable quite awhile ago and don’t miss it at all. Some nice freeper had recommended using https://ustvgo.tv
and it is great. Has every channel imaginable plus plenty of sports channels if you cant quite give them up. And it is FREE! Don’t need to download anything.
“According to Frontier, that charge cannot be removed from customer’s bills.”
The charge can be removed, Frontier simply chooses not to remove it.
Good idea. You may be pleasantly surprised to find streaming TV is far cheaper with better options.
YouTube TV just went up to $65.00 per month. Great choice. Or Sling or Hulu or other options are out there in place of cable.
I’d like to do the same...except I do like college basketball....
We get free basic cable + HBO but last year bought a ROKU box and find I hardly ever even watch cable any more even though it’s still there.
Buy an antenna you can turn by remote control for like 30 bucks for local TV and then get a kodi box and watch shows off of apps like Genesis or Yoda.
That's what I did in 2008, except I turned off the TV. Hasn't been turned on since. Don't miss it a bit.
I would have serious boredom problems if forced to give up the Internet.
There are even free live TV and movie apps where you can get access to just about anything you can think of like Mobdro and Cinema.
Deny Hollywood, the networks and sports leagues money but cutting the cord.
