TweetJust stick with basic cable no premium channels
TweetI am thinking about getting rid of our Directv because it's just high and we don't really use it. The only thing I will miss will be Bates Motel (I love that show), Duck Dynasty, and any MMA. I'm thinking I can probably catch these online.
For the ones that have done this, what do you guys do? And do you still see your shows? We have an Xbox and I can work on getting laptop connectivity with the tv. I also figure I can get one of the antennas for the over the air HD stuff.
What do you guys think? We are trying to cut back on bills which have gotten ridiculous

TweetWe don't have cable where we are. It's either Directv or DISH. I heard DISH sucked and we have a grandfathered Directv package that still costs 100.00 per month.

TweetNot anymore. That's why I was thinking of dropping it

TweetCant do it man.
TweetWe have Direct TV and just dropped about 2 tiers...gonna save like $80-$100/month. Mainly the movie channels and another tier that we never used. We were able to keep a couple of the sports channels for hockey/soccer/rugby. We've discussed running NetFlicks thru the PS3 but quite haven't gotten that far.

TweetDo you happen to know what package it is? If you don't mind me asking. We basically watch TBS and A&E for shows and FOX and FUEL for MMA. That's really it. I need to get on there and check it out. Thanks for the input

TweetI hate that these companies give great deals to new customers. Ive been with Comcast for years and I hate seeing new customer promotions for half what i pay. All I want is internet. No TV, but its a cheaper package to have TV. All TV does is brainwash my kids to thinking they need every gadget on TV.
TweetI canceled our cable about 6 months ago. What we do now is I installed aHD digital antenna on the roof and we get about 35 channels. We also have HULU plus and Netflix so I pay under $20 a month.
TweetMy buddy just told me about the antenna. Gonna have to check one out.
TweetAs far as I know, I have those channels. I got rid of the movie channels which were 501-565ish and a couple of the 600 channels. Hope that helps

TweetI think i'm into mine about $160 and that is with a nice signal booster. Mine is good to a distance of 200 plus miles. The cool thing is, I have a better picture with the antenna that I every did with cable or direct TV.
TweetYeah, this was part of my plan. I think I'm going to check out those antenna setups while I still have the Directv service and then once I get it working, I'll drop Directv.
I just called Directv to ask about their online billing being messed up and ended up walking away with a 25.00 per month credit on my bill for the next 12 months....haha! Just goes to show you what they can REALLY do.
