What is "Cable TV"? :)


It's read-only, video-only internet that doesn't provide pornography used mainly to deliver advertising and propaganda.


CATV originally meant community antenna television, and was a ‘shared’ coaxial line that allowed multiple users to share an antenna in order to receive over the air broadcasts.

Now it is a legislative construct, used to bypass consumer protections.


The expensive live sports streaming I get with my internet :)
