I've avoid digital cable, satellite TV and the huge HDTV's like the plague, mostly because I been to other people's houses and they have like 5 boxes sitting on their TV, 6 remote controls and usually even playing a DVD or switching over to VHS is agonizingly painful often. If you hit the wrong button in one of the menus, you are fuct beyond belief and will have to spend an hour reading the manual. (Well, not me ... but they will
)
My main TV has a $79 Toshiba DVD player under it. Under that is a small VCR and sitting next to it is a GameCube.
I told the cable company I don't need the cable tv box, the extra remote control (which in my experience all do a shitty job of changing channels) and as a plus, I'm guaranteed to not ever be tempted to pay $5.99 for a movie (I try to do Netflix).
Why can't they keep this sh*t simple? Or am I all wrong about this?
