I’m willing to pay $1/channel/month. There’s only about 10 channels I would watch occasionally. I threw out the cable about 10 years ago. Note that some broadcast stations have less compression than many cable channels.
To get the local channels, we bought a $15. digital TV antenna,
In two different locations, both well within a metropolitan area, I have gotten spotty reception with the new digital TV system. Scenes freeze up, or channels just become unavailable.
In my digital antenna cost more like $50.
If you dont have a digital antenna go get one and give it a try.
you would be amazed ow many stations you can get with digital clarity
I got rid of my $170 a month bill (multiple DVR boxes was the big killer) and now I have a computer video card and all the ability to record and play stations I want
I kept the internet service only
Our cable bill was getting out of hand. So I called and complained and they magically offered me a much lower price for the same service.
Here is a thread that I was in a while ago that has some information on this:
Nearly 800,000 U.S. TV households ‘cut the cord,’ report says - Yahoo! News
