Cable bill to go to $1,950 per year

[harshness]

First, there is no "must see" thing for which info is not available through other media.

I've heard that argument before. The first time I recall the argument the offeror went into a blind panic over Olympics coverage. There are more than a few live events that aren't ever released as recordings or streams.

Others missed the more in depth coverage of news or weather versus the streaming versions that seemed to be short loops.

Changing horses is one thing but jumping off your horse and waiting for another will come along is something entirely different.

The world does not end if you miss the Olympics, the World Series, the Superbowl, or NCAA finals.

See how we have been trained away from discerning what is really important in life?

If you feel you would just die if you missed something like that, well, I can appreciate that. I have been at that place. I am not now...decided there are a lot more important things in life than what is on the screen as I sit on my butt.

Arghhhh... had typed a BUNCH, got distracted, came back and did something that lost the page.
short version.
new bill, should have had TV cancel in it.
all messed up (higher than before).
called - lady agreed it was all screwed up; made no sense whatsoever (they even set a shutoff date that put it with one day of service into the next month).
she worked hard and found promo combinations for $1540 per yr w std internet.
I agreed to stay. wanted lower, but this was lots better than 1950.
Had already selected to order Winegard MS2002 antenna and had a friend primed to do hookups. It might still be in my future sometime.
