Myth: cable piracy is wrong
Fact: cable companies are big faceless corporations, which makes it ok!

the only good internet game in town is the cable company and they're super desperate to stay relevant as a cable provider and not an isp and i'm pretty sure it might have cost slightly more to get the internet-only package or some weird poo poo.

This means i can watch live tv or pirate everything, depending on the channel and my desire to put up with commercials.

I didnt think stealing cable was a thing in 2015 considering the ability to download whatever you want. I remember hot cable boxes that got everything for free were pretty cool for awhile, but those cable boxes are not what you probably have coming to mind right now.



now youre thinking about the right cable box

Cable stealing crew represent. I got a guy on the inside and I tip him 8 bucks a month for every channel. Feels good to pull one over on the cable company for once. "Oh you're doubling my Internet bill with no notice, that's nice. Ya got me!"

The funny thing is after having cable for the first time in probably two decades I really could do without it. All the channels are garbage and the BRAND NEW Samsung DVR works like utter poo poo and crashes constantly. Oh yeah picture quality is abhorrent. I don't know how people watch this poo poo.
