I feel the same way.  I don't want to get cable TV first of all because I
don't watch that much television.  Second of all, I want to keep it that
way.  I don't need yet another distraction amongst the various others to
take time away from studying.  I have enough trouble as it is without cable.
:)  However, the guy did mention that they were working on some device they
can attach to your outside cable box (or something along that line) that
will block cable TV for the non-cable subscribers to RR.  I hope we don't
have to wait too long for that.  I think we've waited long enough. :)

Later,
Gabe
