6. Wish I could find good movies on TV

I have Dish Network's "America's Everything Package" but unfortunately the movie channels like the several HBO channels and their subsidiaries the Cinemax channels, the several Showtime channels and their TMC subsidiary channels, the Starz channels and their Encore channels, along with quite a few others keep playing the same old tired chestnuts. Right now it's movies like Sister Act, Titanic, The Enforcer, Gremlins, or the umpteenth running of LOTR and similar old fare that I have to choose from. The selection gets worse with each passing year although I'm paying a lot for these worthless movie channels. It seems that the new movies have now gone to the new EPIX channels but you have to pay even more for that and I'm tired of constantly paying more for less. I guess whereas I used to have "America's Everything", that keeps changing as they devise new ways to squeeze money out of people. I hate reality shows or network TV so I'm watching more old movies on youtube or Hulu now.
