At that point it affects me not. I currently do not have a TV service 
of any kind, including no Over the air, and yet I still watch every 
program I watched when I had a satellite subscription. I'd like a way 
to pay a fair price for the service I enjoy but the studios/networks 
don't let me do it that way, so they miss out completely, as do their 
advertisers.
