Dropped Dish in 2005.
I hope it works out to your satisfaction. We have Roku that picks up all kinds of stuff, and a DVD player/receiver/beeber that (unfortunately) allows the kids to watch Youtube at will.
I liked the old Netflix when you could make your list of streaming shows, and that was all that could be accessed without going on a PC.
Free HDTV Antenna + Amazon Prime + Netflix = :-)
truly love the cuts ... never was ‘haunted’ ... but they are!
Get rid of that crap...you’re supporting liberals with every dollar spent. Be happy with you and yours. Netflix if necessary. I’m a hermit, though, be well.

Lots of people are ditching it all in favor of XBMC, everything from latest movies/programs to every sports match imaginable - all free.
What about the internet itself? If I may ask. How is that provided?
Love my Roku. Amazon, Netflix and YouTube.
“nearly $900 “
Gulp...
I tried the converter box when they went all digital but reception here in the sticks is terrible. Fortunately I was only out $29.95.
I gave up on the boob-toob and just watched whatever was interesting on the ‘net. I’ve never looked back.
BUMP! Eager to scour this thread for enlightening information. We still pay a fortune for useless cable.
Do you have OTA Channels like Gettv Movies tv METV Cozi TV Antenna TV bounce tv Buzzrtv network and Decades in your area
There is more coming like Hero and icon tv network which show Cops show and MGM Sinclair stations group start their version of Sci fi channel with Stargate SG 1 Outer limit and Dead like me
Cut the cable cord several years ago. Here are my suggestions.
Netflix - everybody knows, works well
Hulu plus - about the same price as netflix, but, you can get current shows. I really like it, because there are shows I would have never watched that are on huluplus.
Amazon prime - I love for the free shipping. If you are looking to find a favorite show for free, be prepared to be dissapointed. They do have shows I like, like Downton Abbey, but cheap tv shows they still want $1.99 per episode, and after 3 years of prime, the list of shows that are pay are getting higher.
We mostly use netflix, hulu plus, and then amazon prime for pay preview type movies.
Hope this helps
For those who don’t want to cut the cord completely; we’ve had ‘basic-basic’ cable for years (DirectTV customer before local channels were offered in the area)
It isn’t advertised on our cable site and I’ll bet not on others either, but it’s there. We pay $6/mo. for the ‘basic-basic’ package - all network channels, local access, and a whole bunch of different PBS channels.
Would love to dump DirectTV but DH has to watch that darn GolfChannel - lol
I cut the cable around 6 mos ago. HD antenna and amazon prime via hard internet connection to router. I only miss FoxNews (man,do I miss it!), golf channel, and dvr. If anyone knows how to get foxnews via internet let me know.
I honestly don’t understand what is preventing alacart programming. Like $1/month per channel, pick the ones you want. Plus maybe $10/mo dvr? Seriously, it’s such a no-brainer you know political palms are getting greased.
