anyone else seriously considering dumping cable tv?

[Forever_frost]

Only reason I keep it is BBC America

What do you do if you need to DVR something? Get a standalone Tivo or something?

Antenna with Tivo FTW

Had nothing but Netflix for over 2 years. Don't miss it at all.

I watch another television shows on DVD now as it is (HBO, Showtime, etc...) and I don't much care for it. I'm not a big fan of being a year behind on things constantly, so usually, I'll wait until the series has come to an end and watch it all in a few week span. Then I'm even later to the show and left talking about them while it's airing on fucking Nick at Nite or something.

I watch a lot of news as well, so I'm not really sure that the whole no-cable thing is really for someone like me. I've batted the idea around before, but always come back to thinking that I would seriously hate it. Then there's the whole AT&T limits that they impose on you and 1080p programming wouldn't take to long to eclipse the 150GB limit they set...

Thats the reason I installed a PCI HDTV tuner in my desktop, and also have a USB HDTV tuner for my laptop...both of which can record direct from the air in very nice 1080 with NO compression.

TRUE broadcast HDTV looks much better than Dish, Direct, Cable, or Uverse.

you mean dvr off my antenna connection? whats the point i only get 10 channels! and you cannot dvr off a roku player

[Sgt Beavis]

Yea, I'm seriously thinking about dropping DirecTV. I love NFL Sunday Ticket but I rarely watch any TV in the off season. When the NFL isn't playing, I'm pissing $108 down the tubes..

I got rid of it almost 7 years ago. I just have netflix, and the computer.

Same here, and rabbit ear tv as well

[Tx Redneck]

Yes, gonna go Google TV

I dig shows about nature, cars, food, travel, sports, DYI, etc, so I keep dish service. But, I wish I could tailor it and get a discount because I never watch movies and I don't use or need DVR. Dropped Netflix because the selection sucked. Has it gotten any better in the past 2-3 years?

It has gotten a little better in the past few months. In the direction they're hesding with bringing in new shows financed by them its going to get a whole lot better.


Whats cable?

That's how TV needs to be. I've got 300 channels or so and only watch MAYBE 10 on a regular basis. 20-30 might get tuned into a few times a year.

I'm at 185 a month for CABLE (screw you Carlos!) and 30megs on my internet with Charter. I get irritated with it at times, but I like football, hockey baseball, the weirdo medical shows, movies, etc. I only watch a couple hours a week if that, but it is what it is, I guess.
