who here is "unplugged" ?
« on: October 14, 2013, 11:43:47 AM »
I have to be honest, the older I get... I look at this DirecTV bill for $165 and I'm like what the fuck am I paying this kind of money for, to watch television.

I am seriously, seriously thinking about getting a good high and antenna, and whatever I really want to watch just download it like everyone else. And fuck paying these prices. I'm of the opinion that with these DVR's and all this shit, people watched too much goddamn TV anyway.

I sold my first and only TV in 2006. You are just constantly bombarded with useless shit. With the internet you can be much more selective, even though it has its own drawbacks.

All I have is a PC at a desk. And a laptop for watching shows etc.

Lounging back on a couch watching hours of TV makes men soft and weak. We should either be working or sleeping. If you manage to find some time chill with the laptop and watch a show or a sport for 2 hours and eat / relax.

This 6+ hours of tv the idiots watch is a waste of life.

I wish I had the guts to do it, but I don't.  The thing is, with a new baby, I hardly watch TV, maybe an hour a day, and it is either HGTV or Military History.  My bill is about $200 a month, and that is for cable, two phone lines, and internet.  I wish I had a package just for me, but what I have found, is that cable TV is like your favorite artists "Greatest Hits" albums, it has all the songs you like, except for two, that you have to get on two separate TVs.  I like BBC channel, military history, and HGTV, but to get them, they are on different packages, so I end up buying a package with a bunch of other crap just to get one channel I actually watch.  Capitalist pigs!

This.

A good antenna and you get local HD for free for news and sports...and every premium channels gets ripped and the good shows are available online the next day.

I'm also trying to cut down family members just sitting in front of the TV like vegetables watching reruns of fucking friends for 3 hours..get up and DO something.

Tons of Internet, books, music... What's the point of TV, 99% is ads or trash and what you select to watch you can barely keep. Computer , if you know what to do with it, is the ultimate media center, you pick what you want, stock it, I have 3 hard drives , 9 dvds and 4 blu rays full of mp3s, ripped movies, pictures, games I like. Important to save it for kids/grandkids too.

I have the basic package, and the one bundle that has Turner Classic in it. So, I pay 35 clams to watch one channel.  :-\

there's piratebay for the series I watch.

and the news and "politics" are all bullshit anyways and I watch it on the internet when I feel like it anyways.

Sports I don't watch because it's pretty dumb. only Watch some motorsports and UFC which I can watch on the internet anyways.

so yeah "unplugged"

If uberman is a Christian it's a good thing, it means he can infect other theists with his mind viruses and Christianity will move one step closer to extinction.
