I suppose a majority of people today have cable, satellite or some TV provider. Our house is connected through the phone line. We get phone, TV and internet all on one little wire. The problem is that the little wire seems to get a lot of kinks in it. And, the cost is ridiculous.
My "bundle" cost a bundle every month. I pay more for phone, TV and internet than I do for my electric service - I have an all electric house.
As I have heretofore testified I don’t watch much television. When the set is on, it is on a favorite local channel, 99% of the time. But, my financial controller insists that we subscribe to the over 200 channel package. My question of "why" have never been answered. When I point out that almost half of the 200 channels are just music stations, it is not a valid argument against paying so much. And, pointing out that we only watch one or at the most two channels, all I get is comments like, "well we have the other channels to watch if we want to." I have never wanted to.
My conclusion is that the marketing people for the providers of TV service are all women. They know full well that the like species will jump on a package with bunches of channels like a shoe sale.
She has shoes that she has never worn.
I have two pair and I’m still only going to watch one channel. So there!
