We have cable and I mostly hate it. There is 500+ channels and nothing. We maybe frequent 10 channels/ I wish we could have cable "ala cart" and just pay x amount of dollars for whatever stations we want instead of everything being packaged together.

Is great, since I hardly watch all the channels offered by cable or satellite anyway.

Nooo. No tv at all. I mean, we have one (or a few really) but not hooked up to anything but a dvd player + game systems.
Mostly had Direct TV or no tv. Had broadcast once um around 2005 I think, when we'd just moved into town. Eventually hooked back up Directtv. Now nothing, although thinking of getting it again, if only because it's brainless - just turn it on for background noise and/or watch whatever comes on while doing stuff.
But it's easy to get stuff online - a lot of channels will even broadcast their shows online concurrently (the news for example) or just 8 hours to a week after it airs on tv. It just takes actual thought of "what do I want to watch" to turn them on the computer lol

Analog is a thing of the past-it's too bad anything resembling "free" is going extinct. I'm sure, in some way, we only have ourselves to blame for it; but I'd like to blame the government and my mother!

Satellite is expensive where we live in Colorado. We have DishNetwork, and got sucked into a 2 year commitment. We were paying $32.10 each month. We had planned to cancel the service on May 6th, once our contract ended. We were looking forward to it, but before cancelling, we called to see if they could at least lower the price. They did, in a fairly big way for us. They offer something called "The Welcome Package" for $14.95. You get your local channels and a couple dozen others. For us, it's all we enjoy anyway, and it's worth the price to have. So, we kept the service, at the lowered price. Good thing is, we not longer are locked into a commitment, and can cancel at any time.

I don't think we will, though, as we're getting excited for Football to come back this year! :)

I know there are plenty of ways to stream them to your computer, but I personally don't use the sites for that. I don't enjoy TV any more so I rarely watch iy, now my husband on the other hand always has it on! We pay for cable, too bad it isn't free.

For the most part it is almost impossible to get regular tv channels without some kind of cable service.  A few years ago we built a digital antenna for our RV and were able to get a few digital channels almost everywhere we went without having to hook up to anything.  I thought it was really cool that this was possible.  Even better the cheap "digital" rabbit ears will also pick up these kinds of channels for free as well.  And I remember finding online a digital channel guide which was pretty cool and you could put in the address of where you were and the possible channels would be displayed.

How many people out there still get use free over the air TV?
I have never had cable, dish or satellite. I just can not see paying for it when the ststions still have advertisers paying.

I had satellite years ago. Our family watched too much and it was a drain on our budget. We do use Netflix right now.

You can find me on Youtube!
