Way back in the 1960′s Western TV cable started in South San francisco, my parents purchased a house in the flight path of SFO airport the planes would go over and ruin the antenna fed signal,so they started cable tv, at first just regular programs , this for $1.65 per month, then they added more programs with NO commercials this was great , but now cable,sat is a waste of money, Some people pay $ 140.00 or more per month, to watch junk and commercials.

Publicly announcing that you’re stealing from the cable company tells me that you are very comfortable with theft in general. I’m sorry, but saving money by cheating someone else (or a company) is not admirable in the least. Interesting that you think the stolen services are worth the price of your integrity.

One way to save money is to get an FTA satellite system. The way this works is you pay for the system and have no cable or satellite bills, you can get a blind scan system which will scan your channels in up to about 5000 channels and if you add about 60 dollars more you have the ability to record and watch later on your system. The complete package deal can run from $300 dollars on up. You will also have access to foreign channels from Mexico, Canada and many overseas channel and you have no recurring cable bills to ever worry about. If you do decide to get one do not install on the house, install in the yard, when the wind blows and the dish is on your house, somebody will need to go up and adjust the dish mounts. On the ground no problem or add a motor to the dish and it will track the satellite and you can do it with the remote control inside the house.

My bank overcharges for service fees so I took a lot of their money. If you don’t condone it, that’s good for you, but since the big banks love to overcharge, my family loves armed robbery.

But seriously, I haven’t had cable for seven years, and I don’t miss it. I do find I watch a fair bit of TV when I’m staying in hotels, but I think it’s as much for the novelty as anything. I’m usually bored with it after a few hours.

We’ve been married 35 years and have never subscribed to cable TV. There is simply no time in our lives for watching TV and, quite honestly, very little of quality or interest on TV. We subscribe to Netflix, and occasionally watch a movie together, but sitting in front of the tube is not part of our daily routine.

A whole family of cheaters – nice.
Why don’t you do the right thing? Grow up and pay for your own cable.

I am 52 years old and have never paid for cable TV. When they discontinued free TV awhile back, I refused to pay for TV so I bought a convertor box. I now get about 6 channels, which is enough. I really shouldn’t be watching TV as it’s usually a big waste of time.
With Internet, TV isn’t so necessary anymore. Now if I can just find Internet at a lower price, I would be happy.

Great idea. I don’t have cable and it’s ok. I watch all my favorite shows online with the free wireless internet my apartment offers and I HAVE CONTROL. I schedule when I want to watch my shows not when they’re coming on the TV.

Also, some of my friends have gone to Netflix $8 a month. They love the fact that it’s on their time and the savings compared to cable.

I never thought of checking the phone bill as it just seems to be a necessity. But now I have an idea to reduce it I’m going to see what I can do. Thanks.
