Overall, the economy has forced people into unwanted situations, but for the freshest, easiest way I get my media is with my DISH Hopper whole-home DVR, because it has access to my Blockbuster @Home subscription. I get VOD for thousands of movies and shows included both through the internet and on the receiver. I think cord cutting is a necessity, and one I hope I don’t have to consider, even though I work for DISH, some services I have I pay for.gmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801038222129413055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-369825616865986372012-04-05T20:41:55.682-04:002012-04-05T20:41:55.682-04:00Oh, anytime, Roger.

The only sport I really & truly follow is tennis and as a tennis fan I'm used to being treated pretty badly (lol). I suspect, however that the 'ease of use' aspect that cable programming now has will start to become more of a fixture to online programming. <br />On the other hand, my cousin in Canada told me that she wouldn't dream of giving up her cable service as it is tied to her high speed Internet. Her polite way of telling me to take my gospel of 'cutting the cord' elsewhere.agentprovocateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338513665783499520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-35830821571930944002012-04-05T19:17:43.818-04:002012-04-05T19:17:43.818-04:00Thanks for that perspective.

Other than live sporting events I could probably do without TV as well now that I think about it, and even for the NFL I am paying $400 a year to be able to watch on my computer.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-25514314587735956262012-04-05T18:50:38.151-04:002012-04-05T18:50:38.151-04:00I dumped cable like 2+ years ago, now.

For now, my public library gets new DVDs at an alarmingly fast rate, although in the future I reserve the option to do Netflix. I don't miss cable and I certainly don't miss the exorbitant subscription fees!agentprovocateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338513665783499520noreply@blogger.com
