Over 80% of us subscribe to some form of pay TV service, whether cable- or-satellite based. We get hundreds of channels, most of which we do not watch. And while the service is generally good, the monthly cost continues to go up. According to research firm Parks Associates, the average U.S. monthly pay TV bill is $84, but many pay more. With premium channels and high-speed internet service bundled in, monthly bills are often ballooning to over $200 per month (too much even for the generally affluent).
