The only shows I watch are Stargate and Australia's Funniest Home Video. Actually I record them and watch later, skipping the commercials. If there is a good show on I might watch it, but that doesn't happen too often. Dr Who just finished up yesterday, one less show to watch. As for Pay TV, I've never had it because it costs over $100/month, and it still has commercials. If I could only pay for actual usage I might consider it, but like most companies, they have no idea how to attract and keep customers.
