Is ruining my life. OK, not ruining, but certainly taking whatever small TV watching joy I had and eliminating it. We went digital this week for some of our channels. Gone were our news channels (Taed’s primary watching stations); Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon (Keb’s primary channels), and VH1 & Bravo (mine). So I complained about it. Yes, I know, SO not effective.
Taed says that we pay ~$35 a month now, but if we go digital we might have to buy a new TV (that sucks), AND the cost of cable increases to $80+ a month. That’s $600 more a year. SIGH. I don’t know. It IS TV. He did point out that most shows are available on-line and I could watch them on the computer. That said, I don’t WANT to watch them on my computer. (Yes, cheese with my whine would be most tasty. Thank you.).
Right now I’m torn. I really, really, really want my TV back to “normal”. On the other hand, imagine how much I could accomplish if sitting in front of it wasn’t as much of an option. Yeah, right. I want my MTV!
I’m like you — I could never watch TV regularly on the computer
