Re: Why is it so difficult to cut the Cable?
After posting this, I realized there are about 3 articles today covering this subject in one form or another.
Although I have thrown cable out in the past, I’m not sure I could do it again. There are too many “cable” only shows I watch.
Granted I could download the shows within in days after they are broadcast, wait until they show up on Hulu or other streaming venue (that’s presume they show up at all), or again wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray (some waits will be longer than others). I currently prefer the timeliness of recording and viewing these shows on my schedule. Downloading shows through bittorrent , to me, is similar to using a P2P network for downloading, At Your Own Risk. Certainly, I’ve done it when I’ve missed certain episodes of a show, but I try not to if I can help it.
I’ve watch a number of shows through Hulu and the commercials are very short compared to commercial TV, but your not going to get the immersive experience. Not to mention if you need to go to the networks website to view, it leaves much to be desired in most cases (I’m being nice)
