At the beginning of June, after being pissed off one too many times by our not-so-beloved cable company-- Comcast; Paul & I decided to re-think the whole cable thing. Do we really watch enough TV to justify what we pay monthly for a "service" that only provides poor service (if any at all)? The answer, my friends, was NO. After a quick discussion we both agreed that our relationship with Comcast was officially over. We canceled our cable (in person) & were quite satisfied with ourselves as we drove home from the Comcast store, revelling in the simplicity of our lives without cable. We were going back to the basics. .....However, there seemed to be one small glich we had overlooked. No big deal, really. We now needed a digital converter for our TV to even have the basic local channels (a detail we had forgotten)-- & of course, we didn't have one-- so, we have really gone back to the basics. That being --NO TV at all.
One month later, still without a digital converter, I am happy to report we are doing just fine as a TV-less watching couple. There are far better things to spend your time doing. We've happily discovered that as long as we have the internet & NPR radio-- we've got all the news, weather, & entertainment that we need to stay up to date. Who needs those stinkin' rabbit ears, anyways!
