Do You Have Cable TV?

[ghunter]

Well, were we live you have to have cable or some sort of box, but I don't pay to much, I have bundle so phone, TV, internet about 120 a month.

I understand where you are coming from cause I'm in the same boat - only thing is I already have one of those fangle dangle antennas but I only get "certain" channels on it so if I were to drop cable I would be losing a lot of channels and I'm not too sure about Netflix cause I'm not much of a "movie buff" - I prefer 1 hr. shows or sitcoms.  So I'm kinda stuck for the moment but if they keep raising the price I might just have to quit the cable.

Netflix has a lot of regular TV episodes too, only they are 45 minutes without commercials.

You could get a Roku, it streams from the internet directly, no cable needed.

I would like to get rid of cable also but it's hard to trust anything else out there. Plus carry the channels I have know.

That brings up an interesting point. Since we are talking about ENTERTAINMENT and not one of the necessities of life, is saving $100 a month worth an adjustment in what we watch? I know since I made this change I have really enjoyed some new offerings like Retro TV and the Me Channel (old series like Archie Bunker and Mash) and not really missed cable that much.

We don't have cable since they don't have it where we live. So we do satellite but the cost of that is as bad. Between the TV ( a basic plan ) and the computer it costs us $130 a month.  But I have heard that the flat antennas don't work everywhere. We would really like to get our bill down. But if we give up what we have then our only options are no TV and dial up computer. Not a great choice.

We have an HDTV connected to a small roof top antenna. We actually use the arm for our old satellite dish to attach it to the roof. Right now I get more channels than my mom pays for basic cable through comcast. I had DTV for two years and I hated it. It was just too expensive for us and when my contract ran out I cancelled them.

That's a great idea.  My cable isn't too bad, we have AT&T Uverse and it's pretty cheap for cable and internet, about $80 per month.

   no, I do not have cable t.v., I have Direct tv satelite!!! you get a lot more channels plus it has the NFL package so you get every game!!!

No cable TV, for me.  I have an analog TV with a digital converter and a decent antenna so I don't pay a dime to watch the news and my favorite programs.  I like keeping things simple.

Cable is the best option for us, we can bundle it with the phone and internet.

Yes my family has cable television. I'm a big fan of television.

We have cable tv, and I hate paying lots of money for it. We are shopping for other high speed Internet service, so that we can cancel our bundle with our service provider.

I had Insight and recently everyone in my area who had insight got switched to Time Warner. I swear, every month my bill is different amounts. Somehow I seem to owe more every month. It is crazy.
