They are.

I had no problem finding the various transmitters that serve my area -
some I didn't even know about. I've been "on the wire" for over 20 years
but if I can find a suitable antenna this evening, that's going to change.

I had Comcast cable for years. They kept promising cable internet and the
excuse they're giving today is the same one they were giving 14 years ago
"We're working on installing digital lines, they're already in the next
town. Check back later." They kept adding channels that nobody wanted and
upping the rates so I switched to Dish Network. They have hundreds of
channels that nobody wants but they rarely raise the rates.

I probably don't watch 5 hours of programming a week so it's absurd to pay
for it. I'm paying for three dish boxes and I don't watch any of them. I
can't name any current sitcoms or shows. When they talk about
celebrities, I usually don't know who they're talking about or why I
should be impressed. I need about an hour of news and weather and some
Leno or Letterman, and that's about it.

My job is just about in the toilet and the company is teetering on
bankruptcy, so this is the first step in cutting cost around here.
Landline phone will probably be next.

Would you believe, I still have a pulse-tone phone line. g When I moved
here, the telco was charging 3X what my previous telco had, which I
thought was a rip. Even small expenses like that can really add up over
time.
