Ok, in 2012, if you was told you can only have CABLE or INTERNET, which one you - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

choose?

Where are the cable lovers?

If I had to make a choice then internet would win hands down. I've never had cable and Directv & Dish are too expensive considering what little I actually watch. I'm perfectly content with my digital antenna, converter box and the channels I currently receive which includes Antenna TV, ME-TV, This TV etc...If I didn't have internet, I couldn't sell on eBay so that's another factor.

Internet

MrCleveland · 09-15-2012, 09:05 AM

Internet. You can actually see your favorite TV Shows that you haven't seen in awhile...cable doesn't do that!

Mr. Television · 09-15-2012, 09:43 AM

Cable. I wouldn't be able to watch any channels at all without it. I'd miss the internet but I did go without it for 35 years. lol

Brieannas21 · 09-15-2012, 10:32 AM

Internet, there are only about 4 cable shows that I watch, and I can watch those online. Plus I use the internet a lot for work

retrofan05 · 09-15-2012, 10:51 AM

Internet easily. My internet was down for a couple of days and it was torture! LOL.

INTERNET!!! Everything is going viral anyway so if you choose internet, you can avoid that hassle when there is no more Cable TV.

Internet. I have enough dvd's of my favorite shows and movies to last for months! And too, You can watch almost anything you want on the internet with Net Flix and YouTube to name a couple. So really I would miss the internet the most!

You would have a FREE choice of either the Internet or Cable.

Legally if you subscribe to HBO (HBO Go); illegally via other methods.

It really makes no sense for a person who doesn't watch sports to have cable. Especially when you can

Watch DVD's
Browse the Web
Watch Digital TV channels

Same here, all the tv stations are at least 50 miles away in Nashville & they don't always pick up that well with an antenna. We used to have a big dish & all the channels were free back in the 80's. I really miss those days.

But now we have cable & I'd rather have that than the internet if I had to make a choice.
