Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for April 16, 2021

Still is with Spectrum/Charter (aka “Cheater” with their mysterious add-on fees every month). You’d have to call and complain every time you got a new bill.

Heck. Remember when the pitch for cable was that it wouldn’t have ads because you already paid for it? Or ATMs would be free because the bank didn’t have to pay a teller?

i call it, Cable 2.0

Everybody’s got their own streaming channel now…

Most prices have changed and some come with a shock. An average local diner menu listed a hamburger for $10. Thought we might enjoy a real burger and fixings after the long isolation. Then found it was just the patty (small) and the bun. Garnish was extra. Guess fries would need a loan agreement. Lots of adjustments in 18 months.

Could it be time for the rooftop antenna to make a comeback?

there’s that

all depends on what your needs are on tv. My husband and I enjoy old movies and sitcoms. we stream for $20. a month

There is nothing that can long remain “free of charge”.

I stream for $0 dollars a month. Local TV from an antenna, and everything else with Kodi. Been doing this for years. Just need rocket fast internet and you’re in business.

You can still stream hundreds of fine older movies for free. It’s your own fault if you’ve become jaded by explosions and “Dolby abuse”.

We “stream” about ten books a month from our local free library.

It still is. Get a Tablo box to record, a good antenna, and subscribe to anything that you want. I have everything I had with my $135 a month DirectV, with the option to buy a bunch of stuff that I don’t want, but you might, and it’s costing $25.
