Bad news for CNN and MSDNC.

I would think that streaming would have killed cable almost overnight. It is so mindbogglingly superior.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

People are just sick and tired of anti-Trump 24/7.

[1Old Pro]

I dropped DISH, they offer 3 “packages” that didn’t appeal to my needs. They need to offer ala carte channels at a reasonable price, perhaps $1/channel per month with perhaps a $25/month minimum and then I would subscribe.

I use DirectTV Now on an ATT DSL line.

It works pretty well at 20Mbps.

Pretty much all the same content for about half the price of Spectrum (Charter).

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I should also say that most people are sick and tired for paying for ESPN channels and Disney channels.

[jalisco555]

For ESPN (or as Clay Travis calls it MSESPN) as well.

A $15 digital antenna about the size of a sheet of paper gets our daughter close to 30 HD channels where she lives.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I haven’t had cable or Dish in over 15 years. Don’t miss it a bit.

OTA TV has plenty to watch, and we rent or borrow DVDs from the Library or find TV series at Goodwill. I think the last movies we saw in a theater were TLOTR series because Beau wanted to see them in 3-D, which was cool, except, of course, for 3-D Orcs! Eeek!

Even Dear Old Mom, at 82, switched from Dish to basic cable for internet and TV - saving herself $100 a month. (My Step-Dad, RIP, had ALL the bells and whistles on his Dish package.)

Winning !!!

9 years for me ...

Why send ammo to your enemy every month?

[MrEdd]

I have books.
I don’t need a TV.

[RayChuang88]

You can't "cut the cord" completely, especially cable. Why? Because the fastest Internet comes through cable TV lines, especially now with the national rollout of DOCSIS 3.1 gigabit-speed Internet. It won't be until 2021 when gigabit-speed 5G from Verizon and AT&T and SpaceX's Starlink satellite service become viable alternatives to cable TV line Internet access.

Cable TV is the socialist’s ideal

1. 90% of what is on cable TV are channels that you would never watch yet are forced to subsidize (RE: many are Spanish which are interesting and enriching BUT DON’T FORCE ME TO PAY FOR THEM)

2.Taxes and fees are ridiculously high and a huge part of the bill so that others can have theirs for free.

3. The advertisements are unruly. Cable TV should be close to free because of the paid adverts.

4. Definitely not free market where customers can pick and chose.

Cable TV is a terrible value.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

We gave up on DirectTV and switched to HuluLive. I like it.

Anyone using anything else?

[Balding_Eagle]

DirecTV is saving a ton of money by not sending me new offers in the mail every week.

I really liked them, until I decided to cancel service, and then after 13 years of loyal payments to them they screwed me over big time.

Not a chance in hell I’m going back to them.

[sparklite2]

As I told the DirecTV rep last year, I was dropping NFL Sunday Ticket because of the NFL caving to BLM. Without Sunday Ticket, I had no real need of DTV. My homeowners association provides basic cable which I have to pay for whether I watch it or not. So my days of paying for two services were over.

[central_va]

Direct TV and Dish are losing customers so the solution is to raise rates!

[AppyPappy]

In response, cable companies announce rate increases

[UB355]

We downgraded our cable to Spectrum TV choice , 10 cable channels and all locals for $25 a month. We kept 1 dvr. Total bill dropped $56.00 a month.

[Lazamataz]

I am one of those cord-cutters.

The fact is, not only was I funding the enemy — Comcast — it became my most expensive utility.

BUH bye.
