But not wire free

I am a television addict

It has been a goal of mine for a while now to get off of cable. I watch very few of the 70ish channels that I paid for. The issue that I have is that I love television. I get sucked into shows and rely on them for escape from the day to day blahs. I have certain shows I watch on my own, some I watch with one person, some I watch with lots of people. Some shows I save up and watch all at once, some I watch as soon as I can.

 

Here's the story of how I fed my addiction without giving a big cut to the cable company. A TV a PC and me.
