    How else are television broadcasters supposed to cover their costs?

    Let me be blunt: that's really not my problem.

    If the networks can no longer afford their existing business model, they'll just have to adapt. I have no patience or sympathy for industries who, because they can't adapt, try to stop all progress.

    Besides, if you were to examine my list of list of shows to be recorded, you'd notice they're almost all on HBO...
