This topic of cutting cable has been discussed on Free Republic a few times. And people have said they cut the cord, no longer have cable, but watch Netflix instead.
I would love an alacarte option. I get so many channels I never watch as part of a bundle.
I find also, as time goes on, I’m watching TV less and less. It seems TV is full of reality shows on which people act like idiots, and “edgy” sitcoms pushing homosexuality and various other immoral and anti-social behaviors and call it entertainment.
Totally agree. There's only a handful of network TV shows we watch. The Mrs. insists on Food Network. I like live sports (but I actually have more interest in Fox Sports/NBCSN than ESPN). Other things we just buy from iTunes if they release episodes there the day after broadcast (e.g., Doctor Who) or as a set if they don't (e.g., Game of Thrones).
Well, for most of us it the wives and kids that make it difficult to pull the plug.
I have Direct TV, ditched Comcast almost two years ago, but only watch 4 shows regularly.
