Totally agree: cable TV now seems designed to replicate the normal services you pay for and squeeze you constantly for re-cycled product.
I think the problem here is the big investors like Murdoch etc put too much money into this in the first place and now are trying to re-coup their investment anyway they can as the delivery of entertainment is spinning out of their control.
I read a few years ago how Murdoch jnr told his staff on newspapers not to use the internet to get information as it was a passing 'fad'-and dad Rupert wasn't interested either until just recently when he realised the potential.
Hence-we customers get slogged as usual via Sky etc. |

I have TV with integrated Freeview, plus a motorised satelite dish for the freesat channels. I have never been tempted by Sky. |

I only want the Sport, but I can`t have the sport without the endless loop of movies I`ve already seen.
Also , they thought it was a good idea to put highr certificate movies on in the daytime , with a pin code, only to show the same lot later again.
Pointless, I am back as a DVD rental shop customer.
Freeview is a little unreliable here, today , upstairs there are no radio channells, tomorrow may be different, you never know. |

I'm a big Freeview fan Moaner (I have 2 boxes in my house) so I look forward to your next post - I agree about Sky; I deserted when they told me my satellite dish wasn't any use any more unless I subscribed.
I said "fuck you" and vowed never to be fooled again, as The Who sang. |
