That's a scare tactic. These have been used so many times it's not funny. You do mean paying extra like it's HBO, right? Cause if you have cable you're already paying for it...

Sirius XM is great for people who are on the road all the time, and for businesses. If you're just in your car a normal amount of time though, I think it's an absolute waste of money. Like DrPhil said, there's a concept of CDs.

Free tv is already gone - the digitalization saw to that. Before that happened, my parents' house got 7 channels, including all the main networks. After it was put in place, AND after buying the converter, I could only get 3. I HAD to get cable because the signals didn't come over the mountain and were that weak.

And the last thing I want to do is watch TV shows on any sort of computer. I can make it through a SNL skit on youtube and even that is pushing it.
