You're right about TV nowadays. I have access to about 130 channels (cable), but I routinely watch 4 or 5...The rest is mostly garbage... :([/quote]
I have dumped Direct TV after having it for 12 years. I just could not justify it any longer. I can get better entertainment off the local oldies channels of which I get 3 over the air in addition to 8 PBS channels that do have a couple hours a week when they are not trying to raise money.
We even have a 24/7 weather channel local and I bought a ROKU 2 that I hooked up to the TV and can get many movies and old TV shows for the 7 dollar monthly HULU subscription price, and it is there when I want it and that comes over the internet.
