Moved to Connecticut a year ago and never called the cable company (other than to get internet). I remember the initial hookup where the guy asked us why we weren't getting a TV package and told us he'd "be back soon" after we changed our minds.

But it was liberating. I stream music most of the day and only watch the TV at night in which we will stream a movie or some TV episodes from Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Don't miss regular TV at all except maybe NFL football.

But last season, I started getting in the habit of seeing the games at a local restaurant, such as a Buffalo Wild Wings or some other sports bar. It's a much better way to watch football. Get to order a few rounds of chicken wings and beers and don't even have to clean up afterwards. That's how I'm going to spend my Sunday afternoons from October to January.

Our bill is about $1 dollar less if we bundle basic cable with broadband. So we keep the basic cable. No ESPN of course but we can watch Sunday football at home.

Depending where you are in CT you should be able to get Sunday and Thursday night games featuring the Patriots or the Giants/Jets (not that they play very often on those days).

When we set up cable in this house, they charged us for TV install, and it took me about 4 months of getting them to correct my monthly bill to get them to understand we didn’t have nor did we want cable tv.

Guess they figured if they charged me for it I would surrender and sign up.

I can’t watch normal tv anymore.
