Sooner or later these cable/satellite companies are going to go broke.

HBO is now going to the net/Roko box, I myself have canceled satalite service because of lousy programs at $80 per month, with Roko you get thousands of none commercial programs at 10th the cost of cable/satellite.

Now HBO and soon ESPN will be on the net..

Bye Bye cable/satellite companies..

YEA! Good for them! I hope more and more of the programming goes that way also.

I hope ALL of them break away from cable. Cable has been raping the public for years and it only gets worse every year you pay more for less. Or pay double in packasges just to get the one program you wanted. :R

I canned them. I use over the air antenna for all the channels I need for FREE. All the sports events are right there for anyone to view for FREE. Unlimited movies can be rented for a mere 10 bucks or so over the internet, etc.

I found it interesting that on the over the air receptions, a channel didn't' exist or that has no signal WILL have a signal when the football or baseball games are on! They know there are a lot of us out there not using cable and they boost the signal to allow us to receive all of it that most are still paying for!!:B

Yesterday 'every' single football game pro and state, baseball game etc was aired for free for me to watch ad naseum all day. I used to pay a 100 bucks a month for that package.

Who still needs cable?
