for us its cable which we already let go we really enjoy netflix

Cable because with the internet you can find any TV show.

This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

I don't have cable and I'm not sure I could live without the internet.  If my internet is down, for some reason, I pace like a caged animal.  It's not a pretty sight. 

 :heart:
Have a great day!

I would drop cable in a heartbeat. Internet is an essential these days.

We let go of our cable over 5 years ago.  Haven't missed it.  We do watch some shows on the internet which we use way more than we ever did our cable.

Definitely cable. I could use Netflix and network websites to watch any TV shows I'm interested, so I wouldn't really have to live without TV if I didn't have cable.

Cable, for sure.  I can watch netflix, or stream shows on their websites.  Besides, I don't make any money through my tv.

Most of you said Cable, but I would let go of the internet, I love my TV shows and the internet is not that good.

Hands down I would let our cable tv go before I would let go of the internet.

The internet is my second income so it is a necessity for me.

Cable tv is a past time

I, personally, would let go of cable first. My family would go bonkers. I wasn't happy when we were unable to get regular television channels for free and had to start paying thirteen dollars a month for clear reception. Then my wife wanted the tennis channel and, of course, you can't just purchase an individual channel so our package went up to over sixty dollars a month. Now the family either rents movies on cable or Netflix but, in either case, it costs even more money. I called our telephone company two weeks ago and negotiated our bill down by two hundred a month.  Because of that success my wife asked me to negotiate the cable bill.  I told her I would just cancel it because I don't watch television.  I really don't because I am always working.

Like many other people have said, we ditched cable tv. Even my sister finally ditched it after going from one provider after another (but she is lucky to live in an area where her antenna can pick up free channels, so she can actually still watch a lot of her shows she used to, just without the dvr lol).

We invested the saved money into another laptop, hooked that up to the big screen, and upped our internet. Nowadays you can get things like Roku and Chrometv (or whatever) that hooks up to your tv. Not sure how they work exactly, but if the laptop ever dies, might get one for the tv.

The only benefit cable has over internet tv is a schedule. When you just want to veg out and watch something, it's a bit easier to flip channels until something catches your interest, rather than trying to "seek" out something to watch, if that's at all understandable? lol
