I agree Kim!!!!!!!!!!!

For real !!!!

Try Sling. There is a 7 day free trial. We tried it last night and could watch ESPN, ESPNU and ESPN2 among others.

There are some games on local channels..,not many though

Those defending cable. ..until the 80’s, TV was free to audience. Sure cable brought tons of channels, but the early ones like HBO were commercial free. That’s how TV was paid for. ..advertisers who targeted the audience. Cable channel content providers (like Viacom) is taking $$ coming and going. Charge cable providers and advertisers.

Be aware, those who have cut the cord, Comcast and others are going to start putting data caps on Internet.

Fyi, you don’t need Sling anymore either. Windows 10 will beam it to TV via your network.

Agreed, with you on the greed! The U.S. takes in 3 trillion a year in taxes, yet spends 3.5 trillion. So we borrow 500 Billion dollars a year! 70% of those are short term loans, under a year in length, so we keep rolling them over and over. And we have printed 3 trillion dollars since 2006, quintupling the amount of currency in circulation, just to pay the interest on these loans…it was called “stimulous”, but it was really the massive printing of money to temporarily pay our debts. Yet we keep spending. It also financed huge “bailouts” of corporations that made greedy, bad, and irresponsible choices. They dropped the prime interest rate to zero, in hopes that low interest loans would spark the economy, and easy money and greed have popped up yet again. I keep hearing of all these new jobs created, but Wal Mart is down 31%. Online retailers like Amazon may have something to do with that, but Amazon is trading at 20 times it’s net worth! That alone is insight into how artificially inflated the stock market is! There are insane amounts of debt from student loans, auto loans, and emerging market loans infesting the bond market, where 2 out of 3 dollars are invested, double the dollars in the stock market. In the last 6 months alone, GMAC, General Motors in house financing, has made 6 billion in auto loans, 70% being considered subprime loans, and 40% considered “deep subprime”. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that sooner rather than later we will have to pay the piper! Millions will lose their retirements, and there is nothing the Federal Reserve or our equally greedy politicos can do about it, even if they wanted to.

Max, that’s pretty arrogant of you. Basic cable in my area, the tier that carries ESPN, costs $36 and they require a box to descramble the signal ($6). Want that in HD? ($10). DVR? ($10). Add tax, broadcast fee, and fcc fee.

$45 or more might be “not that much to you,” but is a lot to others.
