aint got no tv

I aint' got no good tv. I've been watching the Olympics voraciously for a week, and suddenly, I can't get to them. I have had Directv for 9 years and been pretty pleased with it, then today some of the channels wouldn't work. This happened a couple of months ago and they told me what to do and I did it and it fixed it. Today, instead of telling me what to do, they wanted to collect more money from me for a service call, AND sell me 'protection plan package' which means I pay a less in a service call, but still more per month for the same thing I've been getting. So, after a bit of wrangling, I cancelled Directv. DO YOU HEAR THAT DIRECTV? YOU COULD HAVE KEPT ME AS A GOOD CUSTOMER IF YOU HADN'T BEEN SO GREEDY!

but now I can't watch the Olympics until I get some rabbit ears. I hate the local cable company. Really hate them, so they are out of the question. Next year, there should be an alternative, but who knows when that might happen. Intellectually, I know it's probably a good thing that I will watch less TV, but intellectually it's bad because I'll watch worse TV. We tried this once before when switching from cable to satellite and it was awful.

So another business has lost my business. They probably don't care, but here's the list:

Capital Toyota
Economy Honda
Comcast
DirecTV
Yellow Deli
EXXON
that's all I can think of.
