Well lots of folks "like us" are opting for Amazon instant video and you can buy an entire season of a show and get each EP just a few hours after it airs.
That is a pretty good deal and gets you real close to what everyone wants from Cable. Paying for only the shows you want to watch.
I signed up for cable 3 1/2 years ago. I had to pay extra since I am so far off the main road. I got the bill for the installation, but didn’t get my first month’s bill. I called the cable company because I didn’t want a double bill the next month. “Bill is on the way” they said. Called again after no second month’s bill and again after none for three months. I call every year on the anniversary date of paying for the installation and tell them I didn’t get my current bill. It’s still on the way apparently. I think cable is great,and it’s sure cheap!
He spelled it out well.
