My daughter, who lives on the other side of town, dropped cable too. I don’t know what she has now.
I pay a freaking fortune for cable and internet. Internet promises me 500 mbps, but delivers 600. The phone company keeps sending me flyers for their fiber optic service, new to the area.
Cable gets me almost everything there is, including all sorts of movie channels. I hate commercials. I hid most channels with commercials from view. Jeopardy is the only such program I always watch, and I record that and fast forward through the advertising. I have a bunch of things set to record, some of which I never get around to watching. I’d hate to think what my cable bill divided by my modest TV viewing hours comes to as a rate.
No question, I’m wasting money. Why? Because I have everything I want, and it is all so easy to use. I just can’t get up any enthusiasm for the hassle of starting over with new sources. And I can afford it. There is a thread about splurging a bit over on another board that applies to that.
But my hat’s off to all you adventurous folks doing it better!
