Honestly, I hate the concept of paying for 600+ channels. I end up watching the channels that I would watch without cable or with basic cable. Sorry but my L&O SVU, Sex and the City reruns, daily news, ESPN, and court shows don't require more than basic cable.
But the dude hates that I don't watch all of those channels. Neither does he. We mostly use all of those channels to watch a movie OnDemand and even that has become obsolete with RedBox. But, he won't get rid of all of those channels because (I guess) having big flat screen tvs around the house is less cool when you don't have 600+ channels.
