I have satellite.  Want to get rid of it pretty soon.  There's only a handful of channels I watch.  I need to look at the different options more.

We have been cable-free for almost two years now.  We got a digital antenna and have fire sticks.  We have Kodi loaded on our fire stick and get to watch just about any show we want.  It took a little while to get used to no cable but now it doesn't bother us.
Have a wonderful day!

I have satellite tv. I'm thinking about getting rid of it because I can't find anything to watch.

Well I have FIOS right now, but already got Amazon Firestick, an Netflix, Hulu and HBO Go, waiting for better weather to install my Antenna for the local channels and will CUT THE CABLE within the next 2 months, I have made my estimates and budget and I will be saving about $150 a month.  Cannot wait

I love cable, I would love to save some money on cable, but you just cannot get all the shows you love to watch on streaming.

Haven't had cable since my hubby passed in Jan 2013. I kept it for him as he became bed ridden and liked to have stuff to watch more than Netflix. But then I cancelled it and now have only streaming services.

I had DirectTV Now streaming in the past. They are similar to SlingTV. However, they raised their prices in my area so that they are now similar to Comcast prices. I have gone back to Comcast for now...

We cut our cable services years ago.  We subscribe to Netflix and Hulu.

We do not have cable anymore. We just stream. We currently have netflix and hulu and use an antenna for local channels. I also can use vudu or download apps like The CW, ABC, NBC, etc for certain shows I like. We did have sling but recently got rid of it.

No cable, just a basic package that includes HBO. I mainly like it because I can watch my soaps that aired during the day at night time.
