End of free TV ?

Posted on 12/31/2009 7:47:28 AM PST by Joedaddy88

If the credit card companies tried to charge me to use their product I would cut them off; the same goes for TV, if they do away with free over the air broadcasting I will stop watching. I gave up cable and satellite because the programming was not worth 2 cents and now this new digital signal comes and goes like satellite in a rainstorm, it’s a disaster. The suckers will pay $10 a day for TV but millions of us will shut it off.

Shouldn’t this really have been on “Breaking News” ?

Some people pay extra to view stuff on “On Demand”.

As a Time Warner subscriber in NYC, it look like I'm gonna lose all Fox networks as of midnight tonight due to a contract dispute between Fox and my carrier. That would SUCK!

That being said, this is a strange post and you are a strange dude.

Have you heard this one?

Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.

The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”

With things like hulu, it would hurt local stations more than help.

Do you actually use FTA?

I bought some stuff to use when I’m on the road in my camping van in remote locations. I have not got it to work yet however. It was learned that much of what was, is now, not..... at least at the end of October.

I already pay for TV. That’s the way capitalism works ... generally, you have to pay for services.

After you kill your television, you'll need a hobby. Collect jokes. Here's one to start with

Guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender.

The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168". The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says," What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini". Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini", and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?"

Since TV is a major factor in politics, I think the thread has a purpose.

May I suggest lurking for a while before starting a thread?

No. I was looking into it though.
