People are getting sick and tired of the bait-and-switch from cable TV.

DirecTV does a nice bait and switch too. Signed up last year for $39/Mo. for the first 12 months, the second year I've seen 3 rate hikes, paying $82/Mo. for the same package I paid $39/Mo. for last year. As soon as this "contract" with DirecTV is up in a few months, I'm shutting it off and going back to OTA TV (Over The Air.)

No cable, no DirecTV, nothing. Sure I'll miss Fox News but beyond that, there's really nothing I watch on TV at this point that I can't stream over the net free or very cheaply. (Burn Notice comes to mind.)

TV is junk food for the brain anyway..

You can watch Burn Notice at that link I sent you in my previous post. I know another website for watching online including Showtime series "while" they are currently on the air on Showtime. You just have to wait 2 days to see them, but it is FREE and this website has NO COMMERCIALS at all.

Unfortunately, I can't think of it now, but if I do, I will let every one know (although I like keeping that one a secret).
