Entertainment just isn't cheap anymore these days, at least for the most part. If you want to go out and have fun, you're going to have to pay for it as well. In the end, though you'll be able to look back at some fairly fond memories, you'll also be looking at an empty wallet. Satellite TV can make sure that you see a bundle of cash every time you open up your wallet.
You'll be hard pressed to find cheap entertainment when going out with your friends. Consider two examples of such activities: going to the movies and going to a concert. You could go to the movies and easily spend upwards of $20 just for yourself. The ticket alone is going to cost you around $10 and if you want to get concessions you can easily double that figure. A large soda, popcorn and a hot dog will easily run about $10. Not only is it somewhat expensive, but it's not the most convenient way to have fun. You have to see the movies on the movie theater's schedule, you'll have to put up with noisy neighbors and you may have your view obstructed by someone tall sitting in front of you. Another example is going to your favorite band's concert at the local live music venue in New Jersey or NY. You're going to want to get good seats and that is going to cost you much more than the movie experience would. If you factor in food, drinks, and possibly purchasing some memorabilia, you could easily be looking at dropping $100 for one night's worth of entertainment. Both of these two examples only take into account the price for one person. If you want to bring along your family, the total costs may end up being prohibitive.
You could get all of that entertainment and more for a lot cheaper with a satellite TV subscription. You would have access to dozens of movie channels broadcasting their features in high definition. You could also go with pay-per-view and watch the latest releases. In either case you can watch the movies on your schedule thanks to the digital video recording device that usually comes standard with most packages. You'll also be able to tune into live broadcasts of concerts, music videos and have access to music stations with your satellite TV subscription. You won't have to put up with the annoyances inherent to the movie theater experience and you won't have to contend with large crowds at the music venue. You'll be able to enjoy both of these from the comfort of your home and for much cheaper. If you want to include your family you won't have to pay anything extra. Providing the food yourself is also much cheaper than getting food at the movie theater or music venue. You could probably feed your whole family for $10 by ordering a large pizza from a local restaurant in New Jersey or NY. In the end it just makes more sense to go with a satellite TV subscription to satisfy your entertainment needs.
