Here's a list of TV/mobile companies helping consumers one tweet at a time. 
I wonder what it’s like to work in Sales & Marketing over at Dish or Directv considering some much HD content is available to stream over the web within seconds of it airing on Satellite or Cable? Must be pretty frightening to think that any 15 yr. old can be watching Penn & Teller’s BS in full HD anytime and pretty close to anywhere she wants…for free. The point being is that this 15 yr. old will grow up and out of her parent’s house in 3-5 years and will she subscribe to Satellite, or continue her ways?
Everyday, I see more and more streaming HDTV sites popping up and the quality is consistently good and reliable.
It reminds me of what the PirateBay guys said to Hollywood, “we’ve solved the distribution problem. It’s up to you to make it profitable.”
Waaaa!!! I want my dish!!!!!

I wish AT&T UVerse got BBC America in HD. I also wish they picked up BBC World News as well.
You can get some BBC news stuff over-the-air on PBS ch28 I believe.
All you have to do is build a cheap homemade DB4 TV antenna. Works great!
Dish needs to add RTN (Retro TV Network)!!!!!!!
