Press Release Summary = There are those who would say that purchasing a package from
your local cable or satellite operator is the only way to get local and national
channels. While many could agree with this, one 27 year old breaks this television
paradigm and discovers a new resource to not only get local and national channels,
but global ones as well.

Press Release Body = If you walk into anyone's house that has a television, chances
are that person will either have a cable or satellite package to get all of their
channels. Since satellite and cable technology have dominated the field of
television entertainment, it is no surprise that people consider these the only two
options available. But, as the Internet evolves, the idea of having only cable and
satellite alternatives is becoming a thing of the past.

"I personally can't stand paying monthly fees for television. It's just getting too
expensive," said Josh, a 27-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida. "I knew that with
the Internet in its current state that there had to be an alternative to traditional
cable and satellite television. [It] turns out there was."

Josh discovered that he could get local, national, and global channels right off of
the Internet. All that he needed to do was buy a simple software package and within
five minutes, he was getting channels that once could only be gotten through cable
and satellite packages.

"It's great," he said as he changed the channel to ESPN. "I get something like 3,000
channels, and they are all exactly identical to the ones you get in [cable and
satellite] television packages. The best part is you only pay a one-time fee, so I
can kiss those monthly charges goodbye. A couple of years ago, this could have been
considered robbery."

For some people, the Internet is for educational uses only. While they may have
downloaded an online video once or twice, they will never take into consideration
the fact that the Internet may one day take over the way television is currently
watched (or even television in its entirety, for that matter). Today's youth seem
to have an advantage since they are getting involved as this kind of technology
develops.

Josh was able to spot this new form of television through exploring what the
Internet had to offer. "I only wish I found something like this back in college,"
said Josh.

television can be found at joshsrealm.blogspot.com.
