LOL! I don't really want cable, because when we have it, I watch TV more than is productive (instead of FReeping more than is productive ...). So with the current setup, I can say, "We don't really want all these channels ..." and if they change to "a la carte," I can say, "Well, it doesn't cost any less than it did before!"

when we have it, I watch TV more

I got cable 3 years ago, mainly because local channel selection was so poor without a tall antenna. At first, I watched allot of TV. But, after about 6 months, I noticed much of the programming was repetitive. Even the 'premium' channels were still showing some of the old programs I used to watch when I had 'premium' cable 25 years ago.

After about 6 months, I noticed I was back on the computer (Internet) and the TV was 'background'. Now, on a weekly basis, about 1/2 of my evening time is still on the computer and the other 1/2 watching specific programs. Some nites I don't even have the TV on because the programming (70 cable channels) is so bad that nothing is worth watching.
