There is a misconception that certain things are always going to cost a lot of money. People have gotten used to paying a monthly fee to watch television and have just accepted that they will always will have that bill. This is exactly the mindset that the cable companies want people to have. People are starting to turn to internet tv because there are programs that are a one time fee instead of a monthly payment. All you do is pay the one time set up fee and you can watch thousands of channels on your computer without any annoying monthly fees.
