Anybody thinking of turning off TV service?

[the trainer]

Cable is a waste of money i cut off my cable a long time ago i can watch any program i want on the internet.

[_bruce_]

I haven't owned a telly for six years. Sold the one and only telly I ever had to a mate when I was at university. In the UK if you're watching telly, even if you only have the five or six free channels you still have to pay the "TV license", a ridiculous fucking tax of £145 (300$ ?) a year!

Same here in Austria.

dont have tv since 1999. I download a div x once every 6 months...but that's about it.

[The True Adonis]

I don`t even own a television and haven`t since 2004.

[Natural Man]

dont you have to go cook in the kitchen while your gf goes to work "true anus" ?

[bradistani]

only got freeview so there's nowt to cut off. i might stop paying my fucking licence though. i can't believe i do to be honest. as i don't actually know many people round here that do 

i'm not really anti licence. just i don't watch any of the fucker. mind you.. bbc4 is worth the money. the less said about bbc3 the fucking better 

[Nails]

i think about it all the time, but the girlfriend feels we need it  

i live close to the burbank airport (my parents house is close to LAX airport) and without cable service forget about watching TV over the air, that shit will flicker on and off with the new HDTV bullshit

i keep it just for the NFL package ... and HBO shows

A story which is true. My grandparents never owned a TV in their entire life. They considered it evil. However there a good crime shows, information, sports and such which I would miss mostly the sports, but most of it is merchandising trying to sell you shit and bogus lies as to you need this and that. I'm on the fence. I feel I need it but hell you can get all you want on the the net so I may save a few$ and cut the shit off.

is that supposed to be bad?
I wish all i had to do was stay at home cooking my food while my gf works and supports me.

Nobody can force you to pay TV license. Every year they send you a bullying letter telling you to renew. They can't enforce fuck all. They have no authority. You know the "vans" they threaten to send around your corner, the ones that can "pick up" the television signal from your home and see what you're actually watching? It's all a load of bollocks. There is an organised resistance movement that has outed everything. Fines contested in court are always overturned.

Those TV license cunts that come around to see if you actually have a telly, don't even have the right to get into your home- they try to bully their way in, you have the right to tell them to fuck off. Then they try silly things, like going around the property so they can look inside through the windows.

You only need a license to watch the BBC iPlayer live. Watching recorded programmes is free. Most of them go online after only a few hours.

TV license = con

[Mr Nobody]

But again TV is background noise kinda like you are around people I work from home so turning it off I got to face quietness or play some tunes a addiction is TV but fuck the prices these clowns are charging when you can get it all on the net. As someone posted just get Netflix for cheaper maybe thats the answer or fuck it I got 4 tv's get the money from them turn the shit off.

[chess315]

 I just have netflix for 7$ and watch like walkingdead and breakingbad online.  My dumb as mom ran the cable to 600$ I make money online so its just easier for me to fuck off online instead of watching tv also.

I feel more jacked and tanned just after listening to that, so are you saying I sell my tv's and cut the cable and buy a Dip/Chin station?

True. Now lets spice this thread up brad can you attach some nice ass women pics because if I cut cable I got to have entertainment and I know you got the goods.

[Mr Nobody]

Waiting on BIG ACH to bust my chops I think he has like 12.5 TV's.

go for it brother!

btw, wot da fuck is dat song about

deep heavy-ass lyrics to dat tune man

most likely it's bout some female who did him wrong

[Mr Nobody]

A very interesting analogy. I am not into beating on women but if one slaps me or kicks me in da nuts then self defense will be the norm.

[HTexan]

I could do with local channels, NFL network, HBO, AMC ( just for the walking dead) and discovery.
Really, if i could just buy NFL network, and get free over the air local channels. Then buy sunday ticket on PS3. I wouldn't suffer one bit.
but local HD channels, and an apple TV/media server would do it for must people. But what a pain to DL everything.

[Adam86]

why get the cable when you have everything on internet for free

[MB]

A la carte cable TV/online TV makes so much sense.  Someday it will happen, but only if enough people cut the chord on traditional cable.
