Another Reason I don't Subscribe to HBO
So I got DISH satellite and they always seem to be trying to get me to subscribe to some of their premium channels. They seem to think I want to pay extra for crap like Bill Maher.
Sad thing is that there are a lot of low information viewers who get their news and opinions from this sad sack of shit who seems to think it's clever to denigrate a quickly vanishing generation that defeated tyranny around the world and lifted this country out a depression towards a prosperous future.
Of course they made the mistake of allowing us to hand it over to the marxists and leninists we now have in the presidency and democrat party.
It's not all their fault being too busy turning the United States into the most exceptional and prosperous country ever. They were a little preoccupied to notice the quisling media rooting for the destruction of all they fought and lost friends for.
You would think that we would have had their backs as they grew older.
Bill Maher, one of many reasons I'll never buy HBO.

A Word on Free Premium Channel Previews
Currently I have DISH satellite, mostly because I live so far out that I can only receive one broadcast channel with an indoor antenna. I suppose I could buy an outdoor one but I do like the addition of some of the basic channels and the news.
But it's mostly because,so far, I still enjoy watching the NFL in the fall.
Anyway, every once in awhile they'll have free previews of some of the premium channels. You know, like Showtime,HBO,Encore,Starz and so one. I guess it's to entice you to buy the premium channels but for me it makes me happy I haven't bothered.
This weekend it's Starz and Encore and basically there's just a few "newer" movies I'm interested in seeing, which is a good thing because they just keep showing them over and over. The rest of the time they'll show older movies that I've seen before and most of the time I'm not interested in seeing them again.
I have Amazon so if I wish to see a newer release the rental is about a dollar cheaper than PPV on DISH.
So if they're trying to entice someone to subscribe to their premium services I would think they would perhaps offer more than 2 or 3 newer movies a month because after those turning the channel and reminding yourself that you're really not missing anything seems to be counter-productive.
In other words they'll not be seeing me subscribing to their premium channels anytime soon.
