    50$ a month and you can bet your ass they will still shove ads down your throat eventually.

      It’s just cable tv, it has normal tv commercials.

        Couldn’t you just use an antenna?

        Because … O(ver) T(he) A(ir)?

        I’m near Detroit and pick up ~50 channels with a $20 antenna.

          This is the best way, but it doesn’t work in every scenario. At my last apartment, I was basically unable to get OTA channels. Too much of the sky was blocked, and I think radio interference from a nearby military base didn’t help.

          In my current condo it works mostly well, but I do get some skipping and drops that can be annoying during a long game.

            I get, over the air, in HD, free, with an antenna, the major networks and their subchannels, movie channels, retro channels, pbs, game show channels, scifi channels, comedy channels, local channels, etc. Free.

            But I don’t mind watching wheel of fortune.

            Anything I don’t get, I find a pirate stream for - which is usually found on one of 3 or 4 sites I use.

              I’m just messing with ya. We used to have an antenna and those shows were on all the time just because of our schedules

        I live in a hole on the ground. Almost literally.

        No. This is LITERALLY just cableTV. TBS, USA, TLC, MTV, etc. you’re just paying YouTube vs Comcast for access to the channels.

          Start with 1 cent per month. What a deal!

          Then double it every month. 2 cents, 4 cents, 8 cents? Still cheap as hell! And you can cancel after 24 months.
