There are a lot of things killing the cable TV business. This ain’t one of them.

It’s one of them alright. Among many.

There was a time in America when there was no TV. My dad got the first one on the block, and neighbors would come over to watch it. People got along just fine without TV, or the few channels offered.

Now there are thousands of ways to watch video entertainment. Can't just blame "stealing" or sharing. Cable TV is marketing a product that's overpriced and not as valued so much anymore. Too many other options. Just got back from a hike overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and walking along the beach; more interesting watching nature. My granddaughter played with shells and starfish among the wet rocks on the beach. Better than TV.

I keep seeing the same movies being replayed over and over on cable. It is if there were only a top 40 and not the thousands of other films to see. I have Sling tv which is an app I added to my ROKU. It has most of the cable channels I watch but at a much lower cost.

It has the Smithsonian channel which has the shows that the Discovery and History channel do not carry anymore. You know, informational and entertaining. I pay $30 for Sling and cable internet is $44.
