The only ‘pay’ TV we have is at work; it came with the FIOS service (it was cheaper to get it with TV than internet alone, and came with no contract.)

Also came with DVR service, again, cheaper than just the internet alone. So for just under $65 a month, we have Fios’ basic offerings, plus DVR service (and another 3 months of free HBO...)

Otherwise, we cut the cord for pay tv service about 7 years ago. Sometimes miss breaking news events, but much of it is streamed online now. We've saved at least $8,500 by doing so.

Between streaming, downloads and over-the-air TV, it’s pretty hard to justify spending anything at all on cable.
