We've been w/o TV for almost 4 years. The savings so far is mind-boggling but that is insignificant when compared to the improved blood pressure readings.

Netflix...no commercials, watch what you want and don't support the enemy.

I cut the cable about a year ago. We were only watching the History channel, Food Network, some of the animal documentaries, and a couple of the kid channels.

We REALLY miss some of the Food Network shows, though. I haven’t figured out any way to get them online.

Amen. I ditto your comment 100%.

I don’t understand why anybody “needs” TV other than to satisfy a habit.

Netflix movies via DVD. Only to way to go. Netflix has many more movies on DVD than via streaming.

Here’s another vote for “change your habits, save money”.

$60/mo for fast Internet access, $8/mo Netflix streaming. That’s more than enough TV, no commercials, watch what we want (with a little patience & flexible choices) when we want. What little big-network must-see content we want is also available by Internet form network web sites. Big-budget recent-release content is available for modest rental - on demand from Apple, no commercials, no travel, $1-5 per movie. I’d recommend the $1/day rentals from Redbox, but aforementioned content is more than enough. May downgrade Internet service, save money and still fast enough. Then there is the library with lots of free eclectic stuff, and my own collection I’m still plowing thru.

Why pay for someone else to sell your eyeballs? Latest tv isn’t that interesting.
