  1. I’ve been on the cusp of dumping my sat tv service for a while. I’m tired of supporting BET, Disney, the NFL, Fag TV channels and other crap whether I want to or not. I’m done unless they offer ala cart program schedules.

  2. One of these decades I will put an antenna up in the attic but I have not gotten around to it yet. We are I. The northwest part of the city. All the TV transmitters are in the southwest — 35 miles away (this is a big place).

    When we moved here we saw no reason to spend $100 a month for cable or satellite (even though we have a dish on our garage from the old owners).

  3. Verizon bought Bell Atlantic for one dirty butthole.

    Fuck all of these motherfuckers.

    Shitbags ruined everything.

    You ruined my retirement, my craft, and the precepts of function.

    Any of you motherfuckers who, after that bullshit, call your motherfucking selves, “telephone men”, deserve to have your heads stuck on sticks.

    Fucks’t thou.

  4. I have been watching old episodes of Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges on ROKU lately from the late 50’s and have found them to be thoroughly well done as well as entertaining. His young son Jeff Bridges is even in a few episodes as well as Larry Hagman and Leonard Nimoy.

  5. Dr Hambone,
    I felt the same way so I bought a Roku box for about $40. With it i get a buttload of free channels and can subscribe to another buttload of premium channels. I bought a second box and have no problem running them both off my Starlink connection.
