spousal units present extra requirements. Namely, we ain't going without access to current TV (which by current knowledge at my house isn't available by antenna).
And my wife reads more books than anybody. She plows through them on her e-reader, plus the paper ones she can't get in ebook.
Plus, I'm pondering this stuff for not just myself, but anybody looking for a replacement to the cable company. Drastically reducing functionality is simply a cost savings, not a replacement.
We're only a couple of inches away from current TV content being available online for cheaper than a cable package.
So just canceling cable misses the point. The point isn't the cost savings. The point is that I'm looking to see if I can save money with a near equivalent alternative and save money.
No, that's cool... Just presenting it as another alternative that people don't often consider.
For us, unplugging the TV from antennas and cables and dishes, and instead focusing on collecting a video library was something that gave us "a near equivalent alternative and save money".
