    Last time I had cable/satellite, it was not only multi-year contract with limited competition, but the “package” of channels always came with ~50% home shopping channels. I seem to recall that a good amount of the income such providers make is from getting a piece of every TV shopping sale.

      Not sure where you live but I’ve never had a contract. I’ve had cable since the 90s. Still have it.

      Don’t like cable. Seriously considering dropping it and getting an antenna.

      Edit : are people down voting me because they don’t like the fact that I don’t have a contract?
