It’s the wave of the future. Look around, ninety-five percent of the population use between ten and twenty channels max. When I had that stupid 99-channel deal for $40...I might have flipped through all the options once or twice, but I simply didn’t care for the vast majority of what they offered. This is the way that most people think and operate. The day of a guy’s greatest fantasy...a 500-channel cable option...has come and gone.
The problem with 500 channels is that it takes you an hour and a half to figure out there’s nothing on.
I just download the latest shows via torrent files.
With my cable, I had to sign up for a tier that offers about 30 channels just to get BBC America. The trouble is, most of those channels are teen/rap music, cartoons, kiddie programs, and a couple of old movie/tv channels.
All I wanted was BBC America. I am about ready to drop that tier. BBCA has been disappointing — too many old American scifi. I can get those on other cable channels and Netflix.
