I am just about done with cable TV now. The overwhelming onslaught of commercials makes watching anything impossible to enjoy.

They are only ****ing themselves the more expensive it becomes the more and more people will just pirate tv shows and movie. T hey do it now, but i rather watch it on tv or dvr it, but if that shit gets out of hand, ill just download everything. I dont mind paying for cable as i do but the monthly bill for just expanded channels or whatever direct tv calls it, is like 100 bucks a month. Its getting out of hand!

The real kicker is i dont watch more then 15-20 channels. Thats probably going overboard its more or less 10-13 maybe. Yet i gotta pay for a bunch of shit i dont watch.

I hardly ever watch anything live anymore. I record it and then FF though the commercials.

netflix matched Comcasts offer to buy Time Warner. lol

my bad they are opposing it? i dont quite understand all this.

exactly...this is nuts. GE shouldn't own all this shit.

I'm assuming they are just opposing the merger because Netflix doesn't have anywhere close to enough capital to put in a strong bid to acquire TWC.

Netflix would be opposing it on the grounds that one less company in the game gives them less bargain chips when it comes to the dumb ass tariffs they are now basically being forced to pay.

Yep. Its never good for the customer, yet they claim that it will be. All that ever happens is prices go up and the customer gets less or stuff they dont want/watch.

Thank Reagan and Clinton. The former started deregulating media, the latter finished it.

D's & R's - opposite sides of the same coin.
