The TV show Addict Thread!

[Not Afraid]

I heard a review of the new show - Dexter - on NPR yesterday and it sort of intrigues me. Of course, I don't have HBO or Showtime, so I won't be watching it.

I'm wondering if we're the only people here that don't pay for those channels.

No premiums for us, though I would get HBO if it weren't for the fact that my only choice via Dish is all 749 channels for $811 per month.

Whaaa???

Why is that your only choice? That's practically rent for the house the dish sits on (or yard there of)!

I only have basic cable, plus Tier one digital (Disney, History, Sci Fi, Encore, ect.). No "premium" channels like HBO, Showtime, et al. I have Time Warner with phone, high speed internet, and TV. So my payments are $150 a month, I don't need to make it any higher, thank you very much.

Yes, joke. I think it is about 10 HBO channels for about an additional $15/mo. Maybe my expectations are a little wonky, but it is more than I need.

Or maybe I'm just being a cheap bastard.
