Do you still have cable?
 

Was wondering how many of yall have cut cable tv out of your life?

I pay about $150 a month for my tv package that i watch maybe once a week


I really could do without it i bet

Directv :thumbsup

I only pay 10 bucks per month

These days you could probably get along with basic cable and then a Netflix & Hulu+ subscription. Thats if you have a broadband interweb connection. Especially if you dont watch TV much.

Basic cable and net $29. Hulu is free!

Yep, still pay for cable.

I have one of their 'packages' including the highest speed cable internet they offered. However, I find myself watching NetFlix more than the cable over the past few months since signing signing up for NF and getting the GoogeTV flat screen.

Cable and internet around $90 a month.

No TV for 9 months. Watch shows on hulu and movies no netflix.

I just gave away one of my TV's, and I can see the day coming when the other one goes as well and with it the TV portion of my cable subscription.

I do since it makes my bill cheaper. I get phone, tv and 15mbps internet for cheaper then if I only had phone and 15 mbsp internet. Of course, I almost never watch tv though.

I have a guitar string shoved in the back of my tv and get whatever that will pick up. I barely even watch tv anyway.

Yeah but I haven't really watched it in around a year. I only watch if something major happens like the Bin Laden death

Cable for internet is the best I can do in my area so for now yes.

These threads are always popular because there's a lot of people who like to brag that they don't own a tv, or don't watch it for some reason. I personally enjoy DirecTV, the free HD DVR they gave me and the amount of HD channels they have for tv shows, movies, documentaries and live MMA.

I don't have any TV and very happy about that.

Cables are for stringing up chairs so you can get to the top of the ski slop.

I never watch TV, I seriously dont know if I ever connected the cables.

i wish we had, sat sucks

Never had cable. Don't watch enough TV to justify it plus at my current house it isn't in the road anyway.

$170/mth for their "deluxe digital package", includes:

digital cable w/ about 200 channels, all regular tv networks (US, CAN, etc), and HBO and Movie Central/Showtime
Digital Phone w/ free calling to anywhere in N America,
High Speed Internet


Been with the same company for over 12 years now. (For TV been with them far longer)

Yes and no. I have the $20 a month basic service to the line but don't use.

I download everything I watch automatically via Torrent. And use Hulu Plus and Netflix.

yeah I have cable tv. Its like 100 for the tv and internet...ugh

We pay for hulu... we haven't had cable in a few years (3-4 years?), prob wont ever have it again, not at least until they can offer each unique channel I want without any of the extra fluff.

I have cable, it's $80 a month for some 700 channels and two DVRs. Watch it daily.

yes, € 35 / month I think :)

I cant even afford a TV...

I've got the minimum required to get internet, and a Netflix subscription...

I'm actually considering going back to the full package with everything though, there's a lot of content I miss that Netflix doesn't have.

cable .

My monthly bill is £85 now. That's for tv, internet connection and phone.

I'd get rid of the tv package, though i need it for the sports package. Would be lost without it!

i am actually going to try to run my new studio via a 4g lte smartphone that i can link several devices to. combined with a roku and netflix, i can conceivable have faster than broadband connection,2+ voip phone lines, all the tv, movies and music i need and the smart phone line for $75ish a month. the studio is in downtown la and just blocks from a verizon station. i hope it can work, would be cool!

last time i looked in my boxers yes

dont need it, hulu and netflix give me all i need.

There was a brief moment (2002-2006) where cable wasn't that popular and but they started bundling cable with high speed internet and phone service and they're very good at selling it to you . They don't stop until all 3 are in your house.

I can tell just by your question that you've been on DSL for the last years, own a PC and use an iPhone.

Cable TV Sucks. Why would you pay for TV with ads ?

You have a computer, Internet and TV ... why bother with cable?

We haven't had cable in two to three years and I'll never go back.

They were refering to Hulu Plus which is $8 a month.

Comcast package. 10mbps, phone and cable.

Try getting your content LEGALLY.

The day they let me buy only the channels *I* want, ill get cable again. Till then hulu and a antenna (hd's actually better over the air then with cable). Don't really watch tv much anyway. Only thing I miss is deadliest catch. not paying 65-75 a month for DC. Just not a fucking option.

That would be why I still actually pay the basic service and make no use of it. I'm sure if Time Warner had an issue they'd let me know...I just called and bitched them out for throttling my connection, so they know full well what I download.

haha, I noticed that. Almost every post sounds like someone living off the grid, chopping down trees with a swiss army knife and hunting squirrels with their bare teeth -- but in reality they have 3 satellite dishes with DirectTV plus the cable company gold package with 10 showtimes and 15 different hbo.

Still doesn't give you the right to torrent content. I guess it's ok to walk out of wal-mart with DVDs as long as wal-mart doesn't complain about it then? Whether TW knows you download or not doesn't matter. The content owner is what matters. And I'm 100% sure they aren't ok with it.

I watch mainly sports and news and the odd movie.HDTV and internet is about 130 per month

I have it for the Internet speed. Don't watch much TV.

Actually, he would have the right to download it, depending on what is being downloaded. It would be kinda like theft, if it was a new release, drm, blue ray hd burn, from a subscription service like hbo, and some other times. Outside of that, they all hate that it's legal, they lost that fight in the courts already.

The illegal part of this is why adult content owners can sue pirates, if a number of things happen. However, if anyone in our industry sued an ex-member that downloaded a movie they could have downloaded as a member, that Company will lose that fight very quickly.

cablevision, got the Gold package, with internet and phone. It's getting kind of expensive though... The phone is good since they don't list your number, unlimited local and long distance calls, and my wife can call her parents in Japan for only .07 a minute.

Let me ask you a question about your Cablevision service...

Have you found the picture quality to be slowly deteriorating over time? I'm talking about the digital artifacting and jittering. I couldn't even watch the fight on HBO on Saturday. The picture wouldn't stop fucking up for even a few seconds.

For me, they're the only game in town, so I have to just suck it up -- but as soon as Fios is available I'm ditching their lame service. They really do suck balls.

I pay $80 per month for package with HBO, Moviecity & Full HD Package, and Unlimited Internet - CableVision service. :thumbsup

I have cable for Internet , was just thinking about cancelling the other basic shit, because its all Crap , that we dont watch:2 cents:
