New Study Renters Not Getting Cable

A new study shows that new apartment renters are not getting cable. Out of the number surveyed a pattern emerged that clearly shows younger renters can live without cable. With online content making it easier to access your TV shows online a new generation is signing up for high speed Internet, but not for cable TV service.

The bottom line is that cable companies should be scared. The movement for cable free living is growing at a faster rate then first thought. With more choice for TV viewing then just two years ago consumers are getting smart. A combination of a bad economy and more choice has created the perfect storm. With consumers finding out more ways to view content for free the need for cable TV is no longer an important part of daily life.

With free over the air digital TV a new movement for living cable free is growing. Adding in free content from the Internet the choice is clear. You no longer need to call the cable company to install service at your new home. All you need is your high speed Internet connection and a good over the air HDTV antenna.

Mario's Story Movie Review

There are stories that need to be shared. This is one story you want to watch. Based on the true life story of Mario Rocha.

In 1998, Mario Rocha, a young Latino kid from East LA, was convicted of murder and attempted murder on the basis of one eyewitness identification and no physical evidence. He was 16 years old at the time of his arrest, yet tried as an adult and sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison. Mario's chances of regaining his freedom are less than 1 percent. This inspiring film interweaves Mario's story and writings as an inmate in one of California's toughest prisons, with the efforts of an unexpected group of people who have come together to win his freedom.

This is an excellent documentary and if want to spend an evening watching movie, put this on the list.

Need TV While In The Hospital?

We all know that watching TV in the hospital can be expensive. It costs to rent the portable TV plus the cable service. If you want a cheaper alternative use your cell phone. If you are on a network that offers live TV and have a compatible cell phone it will cost you less. My network charges about $8.00 a month for service. The last hospital stay I paid around $40.00 for two weeks of service. The only problem you might have with this set up is that in hospitals they want you to turn off your phone. The way to get around this is to turn off you volume setting and watch slightly under the covers. Someone walks in you can quickly hide the phone. Not sure if it is in all hospitals that you need to turn off the phone or in certain areas of the hospital. Regardless if you can get away with it you will save money and screw the hospital cable provider out of your hard earned cash.
