Of course there's always a golden excuse at hand but what they really want is total access to inside your home. What an invasion of privacy , but it wont affect me. Thankfully I ditched television years ago. There is *ACTUALLY no way I want to see anything that targets me either.
Cable TV is pure garbage. When we moved to our current home we didn't get it installed and I don't miss it one bit, its been three years. We rent or buy DVD movies to watch but that is all. One of these days I might set up a roof antenna to pick up the local news and weather but I'm not too concerned about it.
