Hulu, Netflix, and slingtv streaming with Roku. $36 a month. I used to pay almost $80 with directv. I will never go back.
I also pay a $100 a year for NFL game pass and a $100 a year for MLB.tv.
I paid several hundred a year for each for MLB extra innings and NFL Sunday ticket with directv.
Much cheaper and I watch what I want when I want
Cool!
I don't like Hulu cuz of commercials, and I'm in no hurry to watch TV series the week they air. In fact, I'll wait until a season or three are on Netflix so I can binge watch.
I also have a USB TV tuner on my notebook which came with DVR software. So I can play back recorded shows on my TV using Plex and ROKU. Skipping commercials is easier than on a cable DVR, too.

My cable company (COX) is going all digital. I used to be able to use the coaxial direct to the TV/DVR/PCTV card, etc., and get analog and local digital.
Now, I have to have a mini-box, as all but local broadcast channels (so far) are encrypted. Even with the mini-box, however, the DVR and USB TV card do not work. Also, the mini-box does not receive premium channels or some of the other higher-tier channels that can only be seen through my main TV cable box. COX has gotten a lot of complains, but they just thumb their noses at their customers.
