Pay per view looks better when it works, I'm sure, which so far I've never seen; DVD rentals, on the other hand, are hard to screw up and priced in a competitive environment.<BR/><BR/>And I'd get to choose my cable internet provider in the bargain? What?!? An ability to actually evaluate apples to apples in internet service, which no other municipality gets? I can keep my fatcat lame cable company somewhat honest by holding over them the one thing they fear, which is the ability to just stop giving them money when they suck too much?<BR/><BR/>Meh. What's freedom when one can program up some Wrestling without leaving the house? But you get to have my cable bill too, okay? Oh, and yeah, if you want this one good channel, you have to also buy these 7 other shitty channels too. Enjoy paying for your Indian Frisbee Golf Channel, suckerrrr!Lunchboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494086212866152289noreply@blogger.com
