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 did it for the Sopranos, plain and simple. But since the last season of the Sopranos was a disappointment, and I've rarely found anything else on HBO worth watching, I ain't renewing.

You're exactly right. I would add that by subscribing to HBO you are in a fashion subsidizing Hollywood because, if I understand HBO's output right, their main bill of fare is movies.

I don't subscribe to cable or satellite TV services anyway. There are many more interesting ways to entertain oneself. The two that come immediately to mind are books and FR.
