I returned all their equipment. I now only have internet and “land line” phone. I’m saving over $100/month. I now subscribe to YouTube TV and Britbox. I don’t miss a thing. Not one thing.
Several stream services just doubled their rates. We axed them.
I finally cut the cord after Fox fired Tucker
I use the savings to support independent media on Rumble such as RSBN, Bannon and Badlands media
MSM in a panic over independent podcasts
You can make a Rumble account here to join their channels

I think years ago, some network, perhaps NBC, marketed their prime time lineup as “must see TV”
How many people think in terms of “must see” TV programs anymore? If indeed they ever did?
I wish I could cut the cord myself, but I will have to train my boyfriend to use the Chromecast.
Cable has become even more expensive than it was before the scamdemic. It is still nowhere close to being worth what they charge. No wonder alot of people are cutting the cord, they just can’t afford it under “brandonomics”.
If you don’t have cable TV you can’t watch CNN. How then could you get the news?
Asking for a friend.
It’s not just the “cord cutters” it’s also the “cord nevers” younger individuals and immigrants who never sign up for cable for their first time.
Also, it sometimes doesn't play well with LG TV. But they are "working on it" they tell me.
Go à la carte or die.
“Also, it sometimes doesn’t play well with LG TV. But they are “working on it” they tell me.”
I have an LG TV, but I use a Roku for streaming. I feel like my “smart tv” is too nosy. (My Roku may be just as nosy for all I know..)
DirecTV used to be famous for its great customer service.
Then, what, AT&T bought them? Awful ever since.
We were paying for the pricey NFL Sunday Ticket package — only to find out mid-season that in fact not all NFL games were available via DTV due to some fee dispute with FOX. For those we had to resort to free, over-the-air TV broadcasts!
The latest is that NBC programming is no longer available via DTV, probably for the same fee dispute reasons. I don’t watch NBC, but Mrs. F does.
No wonder people are cutting the cord!
Yeah, "Mad About You," "Friends," and "Seinfeld."
Not one of which pushed any sort of political gaslighting agenda at its audience.
Had C-band satellite dish it was better then cable and cheaper buy can’t use it now where I live now rats.
Don't need Fox cable.
RAV live streams about 18 hours a day.
Same here, but image quality and sound isn’t as good. Even OTA beats streaming, DVR still beats them all.
It also is difficult to use YouTube TV with Samsung. Evidently I can never program out the Samsung crap so it goes directly to YouTube TV. So there’s a delay when switching the TV on. I don’t like that, but I’ve never found the workaround.
I’ll stick with my radio but I sure miss Rush every day.
CUE TV found on Firestick is a new streaming service. Cost $60 per month. No additional charges for any content. Free movie channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. Any and all sports events worldwide.
Here’s the twist. You can sign up to be a sponsor. Meaning you can sign up new users and earn $6 per user, per month. If your users sign up users, you get $4 per user, per month. All you do is provide your personalized link for their sign up. A Sponsor could get their CUE TV for free and earn an income. And it is owned by Patriots.
