I'm talking about the so-called "Basic" Cable Channels that have got themselves in a Horrific "Rut" and seem to show the Same Shows Over and Over Again, with a seemingly endless array of Commercials to Boot. I'm not too fond of the "Premium" Channels either. The Quality of todays Movies seems to get worse each year. Many of these channels also show the same stuff endlessly. The last time I subscribed to a Premium Channel (I had to subscribe to HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, The Movie Channel and Flix in order to get "Free" Installation of Satellite TV -Either way you spend $250.00) I found myself watching only a Movie or Two Each Month! All the other times they showed stuff I wasn't interested in or already had on Home Video! It just wasn't worth it! For a while I could rely on The History Channel, the Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel to show SOMETHING worth watching but in the last year or two those have also gone downhill. I finally decided "Why should I spend $60 a Month when they no longer show what interests me? I now use the money I used to spend on cable to buy DVD Box Sets, and I actually ENJOY what I watch on TV. NO Monthly Fees , NO Schedule to adhere to, NO Nights of "Nothing worth Watching" and, Best of All,
NO COMMERCIALS!!!
