The only thing I watch on TV is like, Family Feud. That's really it. I hell, I don't even think everyone I know watches cable tv anymore..

If only cable and internet providers would wake up.

[ThePcMasterRace]

if all shows were recorded then put on netflix+ all movies were on it i would easily pay $25 a month for it.

[Mitrailleuse]

netflix should expand to the rest of the world,

i need to use a vpn to watch netflix.

Cable it's what's killing cable, it was only a matter of time before better alternatives (a la carte digital delivery) and better content (what we now mostly do in the internets, subscribe to youtube channels like LTT) were going to eventually overrun them. But if they insists on ignoring all that and just keep producing endless fucking sitcoms or more supernatural fags teen dramas,  as well as every possible motherfucking permutation of "reality" shows (seriously we're now fascinated by the making of goddamn cakes?) well you reap what you sow

"Behold! Fox's newest teen drama! A love story between a human female and a alien vampire wolf!"

Technically, Cable TV is internet-based. Or switching to Internet-based.

You mean a reality show about a Love story between a human female and an alien vampire wolf.....who works on a cake shop....

This worries me.  This is the one thing that could force companies like Comcast, Verizon, TWC to really jack up their internet prices and put strict caps on them.  I know we think some of them are bad now but it could get much worse.

[One Who Craves Souls]

All I can say to cable companies is bye bye!

:\ we were going to cancel our TV, which would let us get 50down 5 up. Where I am the top you can get with TV phone and internet all together is 15down 3up. Then right before we were about to cancel tv and get 50down 5up... My mom says she wants a TV again (after already getting rid of our old one). ffs.

Holy shit is that Van Dame? He looks worst than fucking Rick Flair on that!

I forgot, my mom says, "oh we can get lower prices," and commits to a 2 year contract AHHHHHH

About damn time... Why anyone would prefer having to track which time something airs and watch whichever program is on instead of watching what you actually want to see is beyond me.
