How to live without cable or satellite and still get your TV fix

by Jared Garrett

Created on: February 11, 2007   Last Updated: May 09, 2007

What a tough question. If you don't have cable or satellite TV but still need your TV fix, what should you do? The following suggestions may help.

1.) Late at night, take some coaxial cable and splice into your neighbor's feed. Then invite yourself over with some cookies to find out what kind of receiver they have.

2.) Convince your neighbor that you are a Feng Shui expert and that they should rearrange their living room. Then encourage them to turn their TV so that it can be seen through one of their windows, specifically a window that you can see through from the comfort of your own home. Then steal their remote.

3.) Go online and download episodes from pirating websites. Or from the legit sites.

4.) Wait for them to come out on DVD, then encourage your neighbor to get Netflix or Blockbuster. When the DVDs come, snag them from your neighbor's mailbox. That's only a felony, so don't worry about it.

5.) If all else fails, just get over it. It's TV. Read a freakin' book. Sure, because Heroes is on, it is hard to do this, but I believe you can FLY! You can do it!
