You are spot on. Until July 4 of this year I had Directv for 20 years. For the last number of years FOMO kept me from ditching Directv. Honestly, I have never been a heavy TV watcher, but I got fed up with trying to find anything wholesome and without 22 minutes of ads in an hour of programing.

Four months and $450+ saved so far, it was easily the best decision. I miss nothing and have the satisfaction of knowing I am not indirectly contributing to CNN, ESPN, or anyone else.

Don’t let the FOMO shackle you.

I recently bought a replacement cable modem that was running hot with a NETGEAR Cable Modem CM1000
I stopped renting a modem from the cable company some 5 years ago.

The new modem hardly gets warm plus it loads up the webpages quicker even though my cable speed remains the same at 70mb

I watch on my ROKU connected to my tv set the free PlutoTV. This app has all kinds of great shows.

I also buy everything at Amazon so have access to the movies and tv shows with their app. I subscribe (subscribe button) to interesting free shows at Youtube and when you get the Youtube app you can watch them on the big screen. Wallace & Gromit films, Spark, Jay Leno’s Garage, Dry Bar Comedy (G rated), Free Documentry, DriveTribe, Discovery Australia, several nerd and tv film review shows. Spend some time at Youtube and subscribe and soon you will have more shows you want to watch.

I have Sling tv (orange) that I do not watch as much as I should. This is cable at $35 a month.

I just discovered that Bill O’Reilly has an 11pm show on Pluto TV. I’ll be adding that to my nightly viewing.

Author mentioned an app he uses to connect his phone to his TV. Anyone know what app this is?

WTF is wrong with you? Manic depressive? Bipolar? Anti-social?

You can't seem to carry on a normal conversation.

What’s the cheapest way to get the history channel without cable?

I’m paying $155 for internet and cable tv right now and I hardly watch the tv. If I ditch the cable tv and upgrade the internet it will be $71. a month.

I want to get rid of my cable by next month. I don’t care if I have Faux News anymore.

9 hours a day (of talk radio) “that’s all we ask” is enough news for me.

We’ve had Antenna TV for over 35 years, and it’s FREE! How come more folks don’t use antennas any more?
