While I personally agree with your position - that something offered in
the free and clear via an antenna, should ALSO be offered in the free

think otherwise. They WANT YOU to subscribe to and MVPD so that they can
collect a subscriber fee IN ADDITION to the ad revenue. Personally, I
object to paying a subscribe fee for ANY ad supported program; I also
object to paying many taxes. But we live in a country where special
interests are allowed to game the system.
The two main issues that I object to are paying to view any program
peppered with commercials, which now unfortunately
includes PBS, and not being able to select and pay for a package of
*only* the channels I want to watch from a cable, fiber or satellite
provider.
