I cancelled tv completely about 8 years ago.
Cancelled mine about 6 weeks ago. Had to buy a good replacement modem because Cox Cable owned the one I had been using for about 10 years. It had a telephone jack for their phone service. Cancelled the phone, too.
Bought a HD antenna at Wally World. Now get about 12 "over air channels. Switched land line phone service to Magic Jack Plus. Even with those 3 purchases I am breaking even right now.
Changed my phone # when I got the MJ phone service which is great. Tested it out for 6 months ($52 with tax) and now pay $32/YEAR, tax included. With the new phone # I immediately lost all the telemarketing calls that just wouldn't cease and desist. (Yeah baby!)
Wife complains about missing Fox some, but we have Netflix for date night. And more time for talk radio, etc.
Life is good!
All designed to destroy the notion of traditional marriage.
I dust my TV. Not even sure it would work as it’s older the may not pick up the signal.
All it’s hooked up to at the moment is the DVD player and that gets dusted occasionally, too.
20 years ago it was only 57 channels with nothing on. We have evolved since then

Personally if wasn’t for Deadliest catch and Duck Dynasty I would cancel my cable tv subscribtion I would keep the computer and phone line
Right now I been watching a lot of Gettv Movies MeTV Antenna TV Cozi TV
If they come out with a naked pawn shop show, my TV is going out the window.
“In a couple of weeks ( July 30 ) “Sharknado 2” will be out so at least that’s something. “
Is that the second one? ;-)
People need to watch EWTN — LOL! At least everyone has clothes on.
Looks like you beat me to it...
hey, i love my cable tv...i dont watch any of those trashy shows they list here, but me and my wife watch a lot of HGTV type shows, we dvr a lot of them like Junk Gypsys, etc...i dvr tons of my fave comedies, and spend countless hours watching the history channel, bio, etc...
im not sure why folks say there is nothing on....
:-)
Is that a pickle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Oh wait,,never mind I guess your happy to see me.
Seems like most of the shows have a token gay couple/person on them.
With the blurred areas, the programs arent really worth watching
So what was the turn off, the "blurred" areas?
I’d love it if we could pay for only the channels we watch. We have Directv, and there are a lot of junk channels we never go to.
I’m keeping my TV, because I am not going to miss The Walking Dead. ‘)
And the advertising! ED pills used to be promoted after hours; now, they’re advertised during breakfast.
Excellent idea!
Velocity Channel. Car stuff only. That’s one good one out of many bad ones.
