These are channels I didn’t get with cable. I cancelled cable and haven’t missed it one bit. And have more TV programming than I have time to watch.

Out here we never had the ability to even get cable. First, it was an antenna which hooked up to a Dallas provider called ‘Veu’ I believe that’s how it was spelled. Then Veu went by bye and a few years later we purchased a large satellite dish. We were able to get network feeds (saw X-Files a day before they were aired on Sunday night. We got HBO and Showtime, Canada stations no monthly fees needed all for free. Then the government stepped in along with HBO and Time Warner to basically shut down the industry. It was at this time when congress critters came courting us dish owners. “VOTE FOR ME and I’ll save this industry” Still have that dish, but no receiver to get the transponders or proper satellite ;no device to move the dish. We then bought Direct TV dish and receiver. We were satisfied with that, but the receiver became obsolete the networks being shown were nothing to write home about (costs increased) so we said bye bye to Direct TV Like you, we now find that we’ve more than enough to view and the choices are just as great as spending boo-coo bucks.
