Default I hate paying for cable TV

I hate paying for cable TV... And I've toyed with the idea of just
watching free over the air television.

But then I think, can I really live without CNN, Speed Channel, Scifi
and History Channel? It’s a tough choice and I guess not..

If I could find this content on free TV, I'd give up cable at once!

Hello this is what's missing from HD radio! Playing more of the same
hits or simulating news talk on HD is a waste and doesn’t motivate me
to buy another radio..

I'm stuck with cable tv because I can't find the content I want
anyplace else..
If HD broadcasters offered content worthwhile and not found anyplace
else i;d have to buy HD..
I mean content that everyone is raving about and has self generating
buzz.

The problem is...

The only content "everyone" talks about is the same old carp that the 5
biggest media companies play... from their 30 song playlists.

Without access to new and different content, nobody (except for a very very
few avante-garde types) knows about it, so they don't/can't ask for it.

HDTV Stations need to think about becoming
24/7 Streaming Web[TV]Casters and turn every
Home PC in to a Streaming Web[TV] Receiver.
Same goes for all the Cable & Dish TV Channels.
1 - Local 24/7 Over-the-Air TV
2 - Network 24/7 Cable TV
3 - Network 24/7 Satellite TV
4 - WebTV via the Home PC and Internet
delivering both Local nd Network 24/7 TV.

If the USA did this and other Nations followed
then eventually you could pick-up any TV
Station 24/7 on the Web via your Home PC on
the Internet. - now that would be 'content' ~ RHF

It's already a reality. Flat screen Tv's are being built to surf the
web.
Like the home phone is being replaced by cell service, cable tv is on
it's way out too.

But the problem is not with the Receivers
they are already out there.

Not just getting some streaming TV Video
on the Internet World Wide -but- Getting the
complete 24/7 TV Station's Programming
{Content} on the Internet World Wide 24/7
plus most of it available for Delayed Viewing
too. content, Content. CONTENT !

Yeah I saw one it was like a Giant iPhone for ~$2400.

Listen to the BBC World Service. CNN is nothing but government propaganda.

ROTFL. The BBC is even more propaganda loaded than CNN. To them, every Irishman
who kills people is a terrorist, a communist who kills people is a freedom
fighter and anyone other killer is an activist.

Yesterday an arab decided that he wanted to get his 72 virgins and while
driving a bulldozer in Jerusalem, used it to try to flip a police car
into a bus of school girls in costume going to cheer up sick people in a
hospital. He was stopped from killing anyone by an armed citizen and
the police.

The headline on the BBC? "Israeli Police shoot Palestinian construction worker".

I heard the story on the World Service. That is not how it was
characterized.
