There have been a number of posts complaining about the quality of the coverage of Obama's health care conference by cable news networks.

Here is the painless way to cancel your cable.

Subscribe to DSL instead. Buy a gadget that connects your computer to you TV and watch whatever you want without paying for anything you don't want.

DSL internet is not free -- might even be close to the same price in many places, but you don't have to pay for the corporate nonsense on cable news and other channels if you don't want to.

You can get all of C-Span and the White House information on the internet.

We combine Netflix and the internet and don't miss cable at all.

If you are working or like to socialize or read or play board games or fish or garden or play sports or anything other than watch TV all day and all night, you will probably find that Netflix combined with the internet are all you need.

We have a pretty good-sized TV and just hook a lap-top up to the TV. We can have the sound go either through separate speakers or through the TV. It is a great solution. You do not have to be a slave to cable.

We have saved money with this method.
