“Are there any channels/shows you just gotta have?”

My “trained” reply to this used to be “baseball”. However, I thought long and hard about it :-).

I spent my youth/young adult years listening to baseball on the radio while doing other things. I’d rarely watch a game on TV. Why I used this as an excuse to keep cable TV is beyond me. I know all about mlb.tv, but you cannot (legally) get home games using that service.

At any rate, no more cable at my house :-). You’d be amazed at other stuff you can do while not sitting in front of the idiot box :-). Amazon Prime, Netflix, and OTA TV takes care of those spells where I need to watch something. If I need to see a game on TV, I either head to a bar or attend the game live.

Finally, if the reversal of net neutrality raises prices or kills off any online services I use, then I’ll simply not watch as much TV :-). It’s highway robbery what people are charged vs. what they watch on cable TV. I will not go back.
