The problem was that i had to save money, and TV is very expensive. And you don't really have a choice. The media pre-chews your limited choice. And the media also poisons that very limited choice with a plethora of annoying ads.

So you pay money, to not really have a choice and get 50% of your precious time wasted by ads.

For me the choice was simple. Cancel the cable account and not only gain money, but also gain half a lifetime of time.
