There is an internet provider here.
And landline...
cell works fine...
For myself...
I would rather torrent or stream what I wish to watch or listen to...
even Kodi ..
But cable I will never ever ever never have again....
My ex finally succumbed to cable...
and it was garbage programming, commercials and reality tv afterward..
I couldn't stand it.

I am quite content with the storage I have with gazillions of classic film and shows and audio...
and the odd new film now and then I torrent or stream..

For the most part though...
I haven't had much time for film yet...
I am still renovating, unpacking, chopping firewood for the wood stove and enjoying being outside with my rescues ...Cat-O and Eddie the 3 legged 1 eyed wonder puppy...

Mind ...I have been enjoying watching the National broadcast of the news in the evening and then listening to some Baroque or chamber music while the sun sets and the frogs start their symphony ..

But yes..I have the modern conveniences without the modern social problems of the urban areas...

We do have a village with most everything one needs ...and the prices are competitive with the city ...so even though it is wonderfully removed ...and feels remote...it isn't really ...
