You have a point. However I watch about 5 shows. However my cable bill is about 70 bucks a month. There are channels that I get that I don't even know about. However I have to pay for them because I have to take the package or not subscribe. If it wasn't for the girlfriend I would choose the latter and just grab a torrent of the shows or pull them from the newsgroups. Then the networks loose out even more because I don't see the advertisements that they put in the show.
I'm sure that if me and the GF break up I will be dumping cable and simply waiting until the season comes out on DVD (hopefully HD-DVD or BD). Sure I will be a 6 months to a year behind everyone else but I won't have to shell out $840 a year for less then 100 hours of entertainment.
