Thinking of cutting the "cable"...

[GermanCdn]

Used Hulu exclusively (with a US VPN account) for 18 months when I lived in Germany, worked great, didn't miss cable except for CFL games and could still stream them the next day on TSN anyway (for all the non-Canadians out there, think NFL and ESPN).

Spend way too much on cable now, as I can watch all the major networks on my iPad or Surface.  I like Netflix, but it really promotes binge watching, which is not terribly productive.  Would be nice if it had newer content then it does (again, talking about the Canadian version, US version might be a little more up to date).

The only reason we keep cable is for the specialty channels (Food shows, travel shows, etc) as Bonnie really likes those.

Have gotten in trouble over torrents a few times, so I generally avoid that route anymore.

I showed this video to all our executives at my work when they were making me sign a bulk account contract with Comcast here in February. Had everyone rolling.

I use and older Windows box and a TV with a VGA input. bought wireless keyboard for 20 bucks and never looked back. Want to get an antenna I hear that most of the LA stations are available where my house is...

Satellite free for 4+ years. Never really watched TV enough to justify the money. Decided to drop the service and up my internet speed for video and gaming. I am on my third ROKU - upgrade when features / quality justify and recycle my old boxes to friends / family to get them started. Mainly use Netflix and Amazon Prime plus I have an antenna in the attic for the occasional live TV or sports.

Lately Amazon Prime has stepped up (even with the price increase) when they added HBO back catalog and now with the Amazon Music I get access to thousands of free albums. Plus I love the free 2nd day air.

I've been Cableless for a long time now. Don't miss it, except for sports.

Every time I get to watch TV I get shocked by the commercials. They're really toxic.
