Heh - yeah see the good points on cable TV..

1)      You get exactly the same programming as sky
2)      You pay about the same as for sky
3)      You get adverts anyway
4)      No big dish on the roof to show how well off you are.
5)      And theres 64 channels of pure crap on.

Honestly - theres nothing worth watching on TV anyway.

Now, if those programmes were streamed, without the adverts, then I'd be
interested....  But not when I have to pay to see ads.

I have heard that they expected the takeup of Cable Television to _much_ 
greater than it proved to be, and were absolutely amazed by the amount of 
interst in Internet and competitive telephone services. When the TV interest

proved to be so desultory Saturn sold out.
