The major reason that I subscribed to HBO was the fights. I always liked boxing and I grew up in the fifties watching the Friday Night Fights with my grandfather. But rarely does one get to see a good fight anymore, and when you do get to see a good fight, the decision is usually ludicrous, particularly with the fights shown on HBO. A few months ago, I decided to subscribe to the Starz Package and compare it to my HBO subscription. I found out how little use that I had for HBO and dropped it. I've been HBO free for four months and I have no regrets. I've been CNN free for years (another AOL company) and I certainly am glad of that. I think one can have a very high quality of life without putting any money in the AOL Time-Warner coffers.

Why would anyone subscribe to H-BO in the first place? Most of its scheduling is junk entertainment and boring yuppie movies.

My discretionary money goes to FR and the Salvation Army, not to feeding the hands that bite me.

I'll always keep HBO to watch the great boxing matches. Go Lennox Lewis!

Sometimes, HBO produces a gem:

my letter:
I guess I cancelled HBO JUST IN TIME! I WILL not renew as long as you support the anti-American Hollywood crowd.
If it is true Bob Costas has invited Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon on his show to make a political point, that is his right. I am now exercising my right to never watch HBO again.
More to talk about at work with everyone. More e-mails. I am sure you will get more cancellations! (OUR rights!)
Thank you

I cancelled my redbook magazine this month cause it had sarandon on the cover. Time to mean business! hah!

I was watching Costas on Leno when he said that the HOF was wrong to "disinvite" Robbins. I immediately turned off the tv. My brother made the mistake of asking me the next day if I'd seen Costas on Leno because he had a couple of good one-liners. Boy, did I give my brother an earful of my new opinion of Costas and his ilk!
