    I've gotten at least two mailers every month from the cable company since I cut the cord. Their best reconnect offer still comes out to $100/month with equipment rentals and fees.

    No thanks.

      We have been using the free-to-air digital HD TV antenna to get the basic channels, it's truly amazing what a 25 antenna behind the TV can do.

        I get 10 channels off the air. That. plus netflix, and suddenly I'm not spending $1200/year on a company that is in a full-on hate/hate relationship with its customers.

          Exactly. I have a similar mix of free-to-air, netflix and prime video. I don't miss cable at all.

        Yes it is. Most of the channels I don't care about,so I typically watch about 4 hours a week. My cable service sends me notices offering to hook me up to cable tv...No thanks.
