my neighbor cut cable and dish 3 years ago. If he wanted to watch sports, he can get it anywhere on the web for free. If he wanted a specific show, just download using torrent. No biggie and he’s happier saving $100 on a bundle per month.

@0 Seriously? I watched maybe 3 when I had it. The rest are leftist dribble. Hell one of the 3 was C-Span for book reviews. I will not get cable unless it is al-la-cart. No way I pay for the gay channels. That includes the Homo and Garden channel.

I got rid of TV too

there is so much online you can watch and learn

besides TV shows and movies, there are a ton of YouTube videos on how to do things- I learned hour to pour concrete to resurface my garage floor, epoxy the floor
refinish the basement, re-do roofing, buikd a fire with my bare hands, garden for crops, survival techniques, etc. etc.

I kicked DirecTV out of my house last August when they upped my bill from $75 to $99/mo. Haven't looked back. I have a small, over-the-air antenna on top of my gazebo behind the house and receive over 40 over-the-air channels (of which perhaps 6 are "watchable" meaning they're not some foreign language, lifestyle or "shopping" channel crap.)

For movies I have Netflix and Hulu, when I want to watch something newer that's not on either of those, I use Vudu.

I'm never going back to cable/satellite. They can KMA.
