Living life cable free has not been to bad but now I have free cable! I told you have the 3 units shared the cable bill so I only had to pay $19 a month for cable which was perfect. The other two units did not want it anymore and I did not want to pay the full bill because that is just nuts so the landlord shut it off back in August. At first it was an adjustment but it really was not that hard to get used to and I would just watch stuff on my computer. I found plenty and kinda liked it more. It is much more active looking for free stuff to watch than just passively clicking on the tv to see what is on. Then I got this "as seen on tv" gizmo called rabbit tv and was in heaven. It really works. It cost $10 but I had a coupon so only paid $8. It really is just access to a browser that segregates all the free tv stuff you can watch on online but it makes the hunt so much easier. Now new neighbors have moved into the front unit and they installed cable for themselves. I had not turned my tv on for ages but there was an internet outage so I figured I would turn it on and put in a movie into the player to watch. I do not have too many dvds and my dvd player is being fussy lately but I have a vhs player and video tapes so I dug out a video to watch. Once I selected one I went to the tv and turned it on and BAM -- I had cable tv! It had not dawned on me but the cable is split into all three units so when the new folks in the front turned on cable it turned on cable for all the units!!! Free cable - for me not for them. It gave me a bit of a moral dilemma like I should offer them money for a share of the cable but I was doing fine cable free and would not have ordered cable otherwise so I have not said anything but have watched the free cable. The funny part is that I had to adjust originally to no cable and now I am like why was it a big deal. I rarely find anything on tv to watch when I want to watch it and using things like rabbit tv, hulu, and netflix then I just watch what I want, when I want. It is cool to have free cable, free is always good, but if it goes away then it is not biggie as I get more out of being cable free than free cable.
