How do I convince my parents to let us get Cable TV?

offer to help pay for part of it if you have a form of income..or do extra chores around the house to help pay for it..

if you get the basic cable, is only like 13 dollars a month. If you want to get anymore than that, dish network is cheaper, is like 30 dollars a month, versus like 50+ for cable. Tell your dad i told him to get you the cable, and he will.

Show them channels that would appeal to them.

1st, delete this post. 2nd, ask your question in the "Family & Relationships-Family" forum, where they discuss questions like this. There will be dozens of people willing to jump in and give you advice, each even more unqualified than the last! This is the TV consumer ELECTRONICS forum, where discussions are centered around technical TV opeational and electronics questions, not family psychology, regadless of some here that will opine on anything non-technical, regardless of whether it has anything to do with technical TV questions.

I'd use a gun or some other extreme barganing tool like a a swimming pool full of sharks.

hold your breath till you turn blue! goodnight!
