But in the Netherlands you always had a good selection of free TV right, so cable/satellite was more a luxury than necessity. I think in the US the normal channels are unwatchable/don't exist? Not sure.

Free TV was mostly politics, news and religious stuff (maybe I remember it that way because my Dad mostly used the TV). About the only time I was really invested in television was when the 2006 World Cup aired.
