Eight weeks with no cable and still not missing it.  The sports is an interesting angle.  That was my excuse to keep cable for years.  I’m a Michigan fan living in Indiana.  That means that many of the premium games are on the Big Ten network.  But…. Since I live in Indiana, they usually choose the IU or Purdue game that didn’t make the local channels.  This leaves me with paying for cable, but not getting my games I used to get on ESPN or ABC.  Your business model just failed.  Sayonara Comcast.  You stink!!

Never even bothered with cable- went straight for Hulu. Have no problem with the format, no problem having to watch the ads, and it’s it’s like having my own dvr… except they go find the new content for me. Excellent.

In many rural ares over the air isn’t even a option, as they’re so far out they can’;t get any signal, analogue or digital.  Thats not even counting the fact that some best programing is’t over the air in the first place. the only show I watch on a ota network is NCIS on CBS, for the new first run shows, Everything else I watch is on “Cable Channels” that I couldn’t get even if I could get a decent signal. Which I can’t.

  If you can get the material you like over the air, and through the likes of Hulu, all the better, but the vast majority of us like the choice we get with sat or cable, even if we don’t like the bill.
Even when I don’t have a show in particular on, I still use the sat for music, as they have a very wide variety of music stations that play all music with NO announcers or commercials. They also show the title and artist on the screen while it playing.  This added to the dual- tuner DVR and the selection of material is a huge value adds to me.
  So its not just about the bill and playing for channels I’ll never watch, and there are a lot that I will probably never tune into, but having the option to watch them is worth something.

  In fact, right now as I write this, I’ve watched 2 shows on the local PBS feed. found nothing else interesting tonight and turned on one of the many music stations and its playing   a instrumental version of a old Frank Sinatra song for me write this by.  I will leave it on this station and It’ll be on this in the morning when I start the day,,
So I figure I get my moneys worth every month,,,

What about those of us that still use over the air?
Some of us do not want to spend all that money on other sources when we have to pay for the whole bundle!

Yes, I cancelled my satellite service the first of November last year. When I looked at the bill vs. the amount of time I watch TV it didn’t jive. I called my provider to see if we could work something out but they won’t provide ala cart. I have to say that I don’t miss it and I’m wondering why I didn’t do this earlier.
