Why do you still have cable? |

With cable prices being as fantastic* as they are, and seemingly rising every week, coupled with the fact that you can download or stream almost ANYTHING except live sports and local news (and Jeopardy! ), what the fuck?
Why are you still paying for cable you fat idiots?
You're an especially colossal faggot if you pay for premium channel(s). How about you send ME that $30 a month instead?

Also, a movie channel introduced me to Falling Down, which I am eternally grateful for.
And ridiculously large tvs will always be less expensive than ridiculously large monitors. |

I don't. Another spectacular thread failure, Chris Psaros. |

You just hook a computer up to the TV, silly!
They all have VGA-ins now.
You DO realize that there's virtually no difference anymore between a TV and a monitor, right?
In fact, the only difference is that TVs have tuner hardware and channel-changing, so if you just want a big monitor, get a big TV and you have everything a monitor would do and more for less money. |

I need vertical resolution.
I wouldn't actually get cable anyway, because the picture quality is basically worse than in the 80s, nowadays. Square pixels + overly aggressive compression leads to total crap. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

Oh yeah, that last one I was just throwing out there. One of my friends has the tv/monitor setup and it isn't that much of an inconvenience unless you're trying to entertain a bunch if people.
Don't underestimate people's desire to be the first one to see things so they can talk about it/spoil it for other people. |

Plus, downloading things takes not-insignificant effort, whereas simply watching things requires you to do nothing but press a button at a specific time.
I guess if you're not poor scum like me it's probably not that big a deal!
I have no idea what it's like... to live in that world... |

Theldorrin, tell me why people FUCKING rar things when THE VIDEO IS ALREADY IN A COMPRESSED FORMAT AND THE RAR DOESN'T TAKE A SINGLE FUCKING KB OFF OF THE DOWNLOAD SIZE?
Do they just like making me go through the extra step of unrarring it and eating twice the disk space (as long as the rars and the uncompressed file are both on the hard drive)?
God! |

I pay 15 bucks for every channel (including premiums) and internet service. |

I use my HDTV as a TV/computer monitor and it is glorious. I also only have cable internet, but because it has to send a cable signal to the modem, I can also plug into the back of the TV and basically get free cable tv.
Chris, have you heard about Google? |

I download things and then use Tversity to watch them on my giant HDTV via my PS3.
But yeah, I still have cable because of live sporting events, and also just the ability to waste time watching TruTV or the Food Network or whatever. |

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not looking to waste time. |

Do you guys like 3D? I can't watch that stuff because of my gay colored eyes.
Either way the glasses look ridiculous. |
