Cut the cord


Recommended Posts

I cut the cord ....fuck directv and fuck their bills. I've tried before and failed but hopefully this time is for good.

So I am left with my dvd player and my laptop.

I am starting the first season of The West Wing which was the show that originally got me interested in politics....I just love it.

I am ready to ditch satalite myself. One more fuck up from them and I'm breaking the contract. 

The end of the NHL season and not being able to get MLB out of market was it for me

Soon...

Soon...

Mine was 175$  and the cunts fucked my on charging me for another season of NHL Season Ticket when I went online and unsubscribed from it. They claim you can only end renewal by phone , not online. I was tired of fucking fighting about it so I paid another 129$ or some shit over 4 months. Fuck them and fuck AT&T while I'm at it. I'm switching to verizon soon enough as well

Look at Playstation Vue, looks pretty good and reasonable. 

 

I'm at $250 a month but work pays for most of it, looking at PS to save a little money.

I could buy another receiver and have my dad get an access card for it. I may do that

Yep...gonna be looking into some options soon.  Don't watch much tv in the summer so it's a good time to try out some of these other services.  Fucking cable bill has almost doubled on me in four years.  And there still isn't shit on so.................
