After seeing what happened to Rush with the Left and how the media, especially HBO treats women, I decided to do something about it.
I got rid of my Time Warner Cable and got AT&T U-Verse package. It saves me over $100.00 per month and I don't have to deal with HBO and their hatred of women.
Today I will write a letter to the editor of my local paper telling them what I did and why. If we can all do the same thing, maybe, just maybe it will make a difference.
“U-Verse also carries HBO as a premium package just like Time Warner, don’t they?”
HBO for me on Time Warner isn’t a premium. It is part of my basic package. To get rid of HBO I have to get rid of Time Warner.
I’m already there ... DirecTV makes you pay quite a lot extra for HBO as it is, so for HBO I don’t shell out. Got me a mid-tier package.
I canceled HBO.
It would interesting to know how many subscriptions they lost
Netflix has the GOT and BW dvds available to rent. I watch all my tv that way.
HBO is twelve channel of nothing but Bill Maher and God awful rot gut crap movies and pervert shows.
Not only would I not pay for it, I would not watch it if they paid me to.
The same can be said for all premium movie channels, except possibly for Starz, which avoids the lame soft core porn garbage, but still plays nothing but crap movies.
The answer is Netflix.
Why watch someone else’s play list when you can watch your own for so very much cheaper?
Pretty much the same for I-Pod and radio. I make my own music play list, and I do not ever listen to commerical music radio.
I just wait for their interesting looking series to come out on DVD or digital download. I bought season one of "Boardwalk Empire" and was quite dissapointed. It was OK but didn't come close to living up to the hype. JMHO.
Got to agree with that — my two favorites, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.
They’re alright, but True Blood is waaaaaaay better.... Seeing Sookie Stackhouse restores my faith in women....
I find that TV in general is pushing the gay agenda it seems like every show has to have the funny gay person.
We haven’t had TV in our house in about 7 years. Now when I see TV I get a really creepy vibe.
Blu-Rays of both will continue to be released - $42 (or less) if you can delay gratification that long.
—Now when I see TV I get a really creepy vibe.—
Same here. It is almost like you are watching “evil” blossom. In everything. It’s a foreign culture to me now.
kill the Tv. I haven’t had outside tv in over 5 years. Miss my football a bit, but overall, it is a better living environment and I have more time on my hands.
There was a push for the politicians to not side with the entertainment lobbyist, but rather families, and allow people to be able to choose the channels they want and pay for only them. I think it's caught up in court. The the left and right don't want the steady flow of money from the media lobbyist to stop. I have seen so many politicians “talk” about the anti-family and anti-christian tv, but don't do anything about it. The media corrupts our children's minds and yet so many conservatives say the economy is most important issue. Not what their children are being taught in school or on TV.... I was lambasted for saying there ARE things more important than money. Our children heart and soul.
kill the tv
Hmm. Interesting. Most every price sheet I've seen from TW has HBO (and all other premiums) at $15 extra per month. In what market do they include it in basic? Just curious.
I never get to participate in these boycotts, because I’m never a subscriber to the things we are supposed to stop subscribing to.
I only have HBO occasionally, when they make a free 3-month offer. They haven’t done that recently.
Read the books! They are so much better than the horrible TV adaption you will never watch it again.
I think the woman who plays the US Atty on Boardwalk Empire is kind of hot. Maybe she will be featured more next season since Paz De La Huerta was cut loose.
