    Cable companies can all suck it. Do you know how they started out? As antenna farms. They put OTA antennas up on the top of hills they owned the land on so nobody else could (aka a monopoly on something that wasn’t theirs) and ran two conductor (not coax) cable down to the valley where people couldn’t get OTA signal, and charged for it. They literally began that way, as leaches selling free-to-air signal to a captive audience. They do that to this very day, with additional evil shit value added services.
