The thing driving me most crazy is the endless loop about how “how the Dish CEO was young sports were on TV for free”. Hey jerk, when you were young, ALL TV was free! Thus you would have no job, so SHUT UP! Furthermore, I find it insulting that they want to give me free channels to make up for what I am missing, but they don’t bother to give me channels that I don’t ALREADY PAY FOR!!!

I suppose you are out in the country and cable is not an option.
