If you don't like commericals and they
irratate you, you pay to eliminate them just as in cable TV

dunno what cable system you're talking about but every one I ever had
(cut the cable a 1/2 years ago and never looked back. Sure don't miss
paying for TV) had ads up the yingyang. More than broadcast TV if it
were possible (FCC constraints being what they are. So paying for tv
to watch ads is like a double tax in my mind...

Newton B. Minnow was right back in the 50;s and his statement is still
the best description of television even today

A vast wasteland

gimme a good Ute/Mil hit on hf any day over that mindless crapola any
day!


Hi Rufus

What do you mean? Take HBO for example. The only "ads" are for their
upcoming and new shows. I don't see commercials pitching products and cars
and other bullcrap. Plus, cable standards are geared more towards adults in
most cases.

You WON'T see them on free TV.
I enjoy seeing and hearing political discussions and other programs that are
gritty and true and CAN'T be shown on national FREE T.V. Like HBO has
documentaries on true raw life scenes that free T.V reporters would never go
near let alone broadcast it.

I dunno, some people like to enjoy their lives and don't see a corporate
agenda or other personal gripes that prevent them from ordering a pay
service. I enjoy cable TV and FREE T.V. is the worst crap. To each his
own....

Okay, you seem to have been referring to "premium" channnels only then?
True that most of them show coming attractions, but even some premiums
have taken to showing, albeit lesser amounts, ads between movies or
feature programming.

But the rest of cable is overrun with commercials, just like
broadcast..

It's not that at all, I'm just a cheap ******* and would rather spend
the money on other things. Radio gear, guitars/amps/effects, records
and compact discs, etc. I got no problems with other doing what they
want with their money, or what or where they watch on TV.

I enjoy cable TV

there was a lot I liked on cable as well, just not enough to make it
worth what the cable company, in ever increasing monthly amounts,
wanted to charge me for the usage

To each his own....

exactly. I'm just relating how I feel about it. I get most my news
from the daily paper, still read it from front page to last section
daily, and of course from ye olde internet. Get that free so I can live
with that, LOL
