Yeah, I know. I also know two families who now don't have any TV anymore, because the cable companies don't want to invest in digging lines for like, 8 households..

Oh well.. 😛

It's still nice to know what's going on in the world, seeing how they don't get a paper delivered.. Only packages, for normal letters it's a twice-weekly trip to the post office..

Why don't they have tv? Can't they still get terrestrial broadcasts or satellite?

Meh, they can afford to wire the whole country twice over since its the size of a pee stain. 😉😀

Off course they can. Just no analog terrestrial only digital (DVB-T) - all they have to do is getting a DVB-T receiver (which are quite cheap). Same here, analog terrestrial has been turned off (in some areas).
