Comment We cut the cord on Cable TV (Score 1) 697
My wife and I did not see the reason to pay about $60 for the six channels out of the 150 that we were watching. So we just cut back to high speed internet only with cox in SE VA. I have a decent over the air antenna in the attic that picks up 30 or so digital stations. We have a stand alone tivo and HD Home Run network tv tuner. Between the tivo and window media center we are covered with the local tv stuff. Netflix covers movies as well as occasional renting fron VUDU. We have a pc with HDMI hooked up to the home theater system and we get what we would of gotten on cable from the network web sites or hulu. I miss shows like Storm Chasers and stuff like that on Discovery. But overall we have no regrets and we save money. I did have to fight with Cox in the beginning of our relationship because they were cutting bandwidth to netflix and youtube despite the fact that we had a 20 mb downstream package. That took a month to fight with them about but then someone flipped a switch and we have had no problems after that. We're happy living with out pay television.
