I gave up on TV and cable TV years ago. Listening to compressed commercials leaping out of the stereo became too annoying. Radio Paradise, Netflix and DVDs are my go to. TV commercials are crass and insulting. Back in the dinosaur 50s, commercials were 2 minutes per hour, now I don't know/care.
Cable co. is forcing me to rent or buy what they call a
digital converter box. All i’ve seen are ones to receive over the air broadcast. i couldn’t give a rats ass abouut installing an outdoor antenna to my house’. So, what is needed to descramble channels. Well i think that’s what is needed. All i’ve seen are for terrestrial tv. thanks
