I have Direct TV and its $60 a month and I get about 200 channels but I don't watch all of those channels there are just certain channel I like to watch, but I still think its to much.  That thing you where talking about oldbuddy what kind of channels do you get?  Now I live out in the boonies in Missouri the little town I live by has a little over 600 people in it.  They don't even have cable out this far.

We don't have cable available where I live, so we have DirecTV.  I wish we were able to get it, though.

Wish I could do the antenna but just won't work here for more than 1 or 2 channels. Keep having to renegotiate my deal. Want to drop the phone but with all the bundling TWC does would not really save much. The new PC and android apps are pretty cool though and can save some of the box fees.

I would LOVE to drop cable. We never watch TV any longer.  We're always on Netflix.

Where we are, there is only one provider, and you have to have cable to get internet, so it's frustrating to me. If we could drop the cable part entirely and just have internet, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The only problem is we're mountain people too, like someone else mentioned in this thread, so there are just no other options for internet... other than dial-up (yikes)

I get 30 or 40 channels, but I only watch one most of the time along with Netflix. I also bought a Roku 3 and it surprised me how much interesting content they provide for free.

Sounds like a great deal you got there Oldbuddy! I don't really watch TV except for netflix with my roku and it seems fine. But that Antenna deal sounds like the "new idea" in my head. I gotta check it out and research more on it. Thanks!

I think you found something good and a lot cheaper.  I have satellite and it cost too much.  I have channels in my package that I never watch but I still have to pay.  I am gradually getting rid of the satellite.  I sent one of the receivers back this week because they always find a way to increase my bill and I am really fed up.

I do... for now. Pretty soon we will have to upgrade to a digital box and all that mess where I live.. when that happens I plan to terminate service and just go with free online sources.

Unfortunately we're stuck with a cable provider for our internet.  It's the only option here with fast and unlimited internet.  We just multiple devices and stream video all day long.  We ditched the cable itself and just have Netflix and DirecTV (so my husband can watch sports).  But DirecTV is pretty cheap, $30 a month for all the channels we need and some we don't.
