Because gently caress paying a licence.

Plus, I'm not senile enough to want to watch adverts for crap 24/7.

I think we should use the term cord cutters for people who get a vasectomy or have their tubes tied.

I brok up with TV because it kept telling me to kill my wife.

Cable is almost worth it for all the Gordon Ramsay shows but you can find those online and he has a great youtube channel so there's no point having cable.

I love the way they speed up the playback of movies slightly so that they can squeeze in another commercial break or two

Most of the stuff I want to watch is on Netflix and I have a paid VPN connection for torrents.

Here in Canada you get your internet from one of the big 3 TV companies. This cord cutting business is just going to raise internet costs in the long run here.

I stopped caring about pop TV in my mid-20s and when it was time to downsize my belongings I had a TV that I rarely used except for the rare times I'd play old PS1 games. So I just got rid of the TV and found a plug to a monitor. Sure, you could argue that now I have netflix I've switched from one TV format to another except the $10~/month guarantees me freedom from bullshit car and pharmaceutical ads every 10 minutes.

While I love the form factor, mine is a huge piece of poo poo. Since day 1 it tracks so erratically I usually just karat browse around WebTV style when using it.

I do not know how this site is up, if its even legal, but you pay a monthly fee and have access to newly released movies, even ones still in theaters, in like 1080p quality. Also has a ton of TV shows.

They should let us choose the channels we want if they want to keep customers ! When you go grocery shopping they don't force you to buy a bundle of goods if you just want to get bread and some eggs.
