Funny that at the point high quality LED tv's and digital signals come onstream, the world moves from Free-to-Air into pay-to-watch. So the poor can afford amazing TVs but cannot afford to buy the content we rich get to watch.
Absolute poverty improves but relative poverty goes backward is a constant. Taxing cigarettes to contain cancer risks is a no brainer, which rich people can buy themselves out from but poor addicted smokers get penalized on, and then have to wear "you are poor because you are sick and make bad choices" pushback, and are denied basic health support.

I was surprised to discover the local public library http://kcls.org seems to have a greater selection of DVDs than Netflix. You can also check out a box set all at once instead of Netflix sending one DVD at a time, which is nice for binge watching.
Good point. I used to have basic cable and they forced me to digital and the quality went down. That is what made me try out OTA. I ended up putting an OTA antenna on the roof and the reception improved 10x.
