Finally Cut the Cord
Well I finally cut the cord and canceled my cable TV. The price had continued to grow as the service and satisfaction continued to drop. The final nail in the coffin was fully converting to digital and I was required to place a $2/month box at each of my TVs. We don't have any other broadband internet options right now so I had to keep that service, but our local phone and cable TV was dropped which will reduce my monthly cost by roughly $120/month after taxes. All the programming we normally watch can be found at the network tv websites for free but with a little more trouble. We may also spend a month or two worth of savings on a media player which would automatically grab the programming we like to watch for us. It's refreshing to be free from that leash and I encourage others to try it!
