[QUOTE="Longspeak, post: 8459402, member: 7019284"] I ditched cable years ago. I love watching TV, but I was spending hours surfing, and it was costing us more and more every month. Ridiculous prices just for "basic" cable, and then the company wants to pass on every tax they can to us, so nothing will interfere with their pure profit. So we dumped it. Relied on Netflix (I kept up with my disc subscription). Prime was there, but... kinda sucked. It's better now, but there was a joke about Netflix being where shows went to die, and Prime being where the stuff Netflix didn't want ended up. But now both have some pretty decent original offerings, produced or bought. Then for the rest, I am currently enjoying a binge month of Disney, taking advantage of a sale offering. I cancel the subscription, and coast along for a while, until another service has a sale and enough content to get me watching for a bit. Plus, I have the Netflix plan with the 4 screens, and several of my family members who don't live with me have their own logins. Then, I have as login for my Sister's Hulu... We can have up to 5 profiles, so we share and combine. When we moved last year, I also took the chance to upgrade my internet. Before, one TV or computer could stream and even that was iffy sometimes. Now we can all stream separately if we want, through we generally all watch in the main room. And even with the upgraded Internet, I'm still paying less that the cable days. Which means more money for the important things in life: Role Playing Games. [/QUOTE]
