    Well, I grew up in an area that although rural, was neither trashy nor as rural as you described. I was about 10 mins away from the nearest grocery store, shopping center, town, etc… However, we had no way to get cable unless we either payed a fortune for it to be put in, or if we petitioned the neighborhood so that everybody would contribute. My parents didn’t believe TV was healthy, and we got really bad reception with an antenna, so we got ABC, NBC, and sometimes PBS. That was ALL. And the picture quality was terrible. Many Americans these days care alot about watching TV and watch it a few hours every day. To most people, ABC, NBC, and PBS aren’t satisfying, so nearly everybody else on my street had a dish. It was the only other option. What would you do, live with three channels that didn’t come in well?
