I have Netflix and Hulu running through a Roku device. No need for cable TV at all.

I have DirecTV and a computer on my system. I cut the cable cord long ago.

Sam, that’s what we have too. We disengaged from cable last year, and we couldn’t be happier. And it costs SO LITTLE. I hate the cable companies - ‘You have to have it for two years, you can’t have this station, you have to have that one.’ And they are unions, to boot, so you’re probably paying for their life-long pensions and who knows what else?

I do too, for about 4 years now, but it would be nice if HBO-Go was available to non-cable subscribers.

I dumped TV in 1997.

And having been away from it for that long, the world I live in, which is obviously affected by TV, has clearly gone mad.

No. I am not joking.

I’ve never had cable - use the digital converter box and bunny ears. I’m not sure what Roku is - does it let you get free TV? My biggest issue is that I’m going to be moving and don’t want to keep the landline....which means I’ll have to find a free-standing DSL so that I can do the internet. Or else maybe I’ll look into Straighttalk for a home phone “line” and resubscribe to Netzero DSL. But I’m sick of the high Verizon bills for a landline when I hardly call anyone.
