I laugh!

Hey, Richie Rich, how about using what the poor people use for your 
connectivity -- trust me, it works just as fine as your companies say it does.

Occasionally my TV/cable breaks up, due to weather up the line, liklely. so I 
just switch to reading a book until it clears. . .

But movies & binging tv is doibne via ad-free filers on my comnputer, which 
plays them just fine -- zero lag, full LCD multi-colour clarity.  No dish 
required -- no cats affecting my enjoyment of mindless pictures & dialogue 
beaming into my brain.
