Free cable?

The closest I'll ever get to "high definition" is holding a dictionary over my head.

I once thought like that (and still hate flat-pannel sets), then I started watching newer shows that have things that don't look right in SD...Once you get where I am I'll have 2 words for you HD-CRT.

More and more now I'm watching TV shows , movies and news online especially old movies and shows so its getting to a point to cut the cable cord and save $35 bucks.You Tube is great for complete old shows and movies.They cant keep up on deleting content and accounts so at times you find complete series on there.Sooner or later the cable companies will loose all of their subscribers because of the internet.We are fed up with their fees and BS hammer charges.

Virgin media wanted to put my broadband, phone & so called free cable TV up to £149-99 a month. I phoned them up to ask why it had almost doubled in price? He said he didn't know. I said "well if you can't do it cheaper I'll go somewhere else, they have laid a fibre optic cable on my street 3 years ago so I'll go with one of them". As soon as I mentioned 'fibre optic cable' he said "oh, er, I'll see what can do". He offered to up the broadband to 1000 gigs, I told him I'm happy with the 350 I have now, unlimited international calls, no don't do international calls, sports & films on TV. I said "you're wasting my time, put me through to disconnections, I'll go on fibre". He went quiet for a bit then offered £90 a month, I said "no, not cheap enough". Then he came to £77 a month & free Netflix, so I went with that.

Since I've had Netflix I haven't watched any live TV so let the TV licence lapse, had 2 threatening letters that an enforcement officer will visit my house, but no ones turned up so far. Loads of videos on you tube on what to do if they do come knocking....
