TV You Want To Watch
Posted in General on July 15th, 2010 by srhuston – Be the first to commentTV subscriptions have always felt like a “necessary evil” to me. Over-the-air TV signals used to leave a lot to be desired (my first 20 years were spent with them, we didn’t have a subscription of any kind until my parents moved to an RF dead zone), though I admit to not looking since the digital transition. Cable always seemed overpriced, and the local cable conglomerate never left me with warm fuzzies, especially when they’d just about double rates and say it’s because your promotion expired, but now that you called to complain they’ll be happy to sell you some other promotion with channels you don’t care about just to bring your bill back down to something you only scream a little when you have to pay. About two years ago, we moved to DirecTV and have been very happy with it ever since – by far, they have been the best TV subscription we’ve had. The hardware worked flawlessly, the software was easy to use, and the quality was better than anything we’d been served previously. But when looking at the bills and seeing that we’re paying around $75/mo for television, Stephanie and I both separately started wondering about other options. Last week we came to each other with some ideas, found that we were both thinking along similar lines, and decided to do something about it. Read on for more.
