So in other words someone found out how to charge me even MORE money for my cable service.
If it wasn’t for my wife and son I would have cancelled it years ago.

I personally cannot stand TV and when it does go on I just leave the room. The family is used to my “anti-social” tendencies by now. I just wish they could walk away from the damn thing too.
On the other hand charging someone for wanting to skip the commercials. Hmmmm that kind of sounds like a TAX on cigarettes and see what happened there less and less people smoke or can afford to do so. So maybe they can make TV watching so expensive that people give it up and discover the wide outdoors and that there really are people called neighbors.
Try it!
Television content is offensive fluff and worthless anyway.
The only thing my wife misses is 'Dancing With the (Pseudo) Stars' and that can be obtained off the net moments after it airs.
Back about fifteen years ago? there was a court decision that provided that cable users could use splitters in their homes for as many TVs as they wanted (Calif, anyway)...at that time the cable companies supposedly had vehicles crusing the hoods to detect how many TVs “the folks” had in their homes on one account—they already had long begun charging for each tv/splitter you admitted to...
As you see, they soon got by that court decision by making it necessary for EACH tv to have its own cable box, etc.
Ya just cannot keep a good crook down!

Semper BS!
