I dont have Cable or Satellite but I do have broadcast television, HULU Plus and Netflix on PS3 for a combined cost of $15 a month which is cheap as hell. Factor in I watch most of my sports on ESPN3.com, I think it's worth skipping cable and satellite for the freebies of the internet.

How do you watch TV?

I cut the cable years ago and don't really miss it. Back when Discovery Channel, History Channel and The Learning Channel actually showed science, history docs and educational programs respectively I didn't mind paying for it. Now, it's all pawnstars, swamp loggers and stuff about babies.

Fvck off.

I'm on antenna and I went from 6 OTA stations before the digital switch to 16 OTA stations after the digital switch. Sure, most of them are non-HD substations (i.e. channel 15.2, 15.3) but they're the most interesting ones.

Hell, I remember growing up with cable in the 80's and having only 20 stations (not counting the premium stuff like HBO), so 16 free channels isn't bad. Besides, I almost never watch TV. A few hours a month at most, and I can go months without even turning it on.

Well, I'm on IPTV...gotta say...ain't cheap. But you get what you pay for; every is in HD and a lot of them have subtitles (English not native language).

There are the standard programs..and then Science, Cartoons, TV Series, Movies, Sports, Fashion, Music and News programs. With 40+ programs in the pacakge you only watch about 10 of those which aren't completly idiotic.

I'm on Cable. TV and Internet only. If only HBO offered subscription base for HBO Go I would totally drop TV but the major telecomm people won't let them so you have to get all the "premium" crap from your provider to have it.

We've got cable, but I really don't watch any TV at all. It's just for my wife and kids. I play video games, stream Netflix, and watch DVD's.

Cable, of course. The weather here is too finicky for satellite. On the other hand, our house in Arizona had DirectTV (premium) and basic Cox cable.

I have Foxtel IQ cable TV, but I use it more to DVR free-to-air shows. I probably should just buy my own DVR and scrap the subscription.

Outage season has nothing to do with DTV, but the companies that hire my company to come in and inspect their boilers, or other infrastructure at said compaines. It is also the time repairs are made to their facilities. It happens in late winter/early spring or late fall/early winter.

I have direct tv. I signed up for 40 bucks a month then after the first year it jumped to 90. When I called the best deal I got was 80 for the same lineup. I think it's a ripoff. If I didn't have 2 year contract I'd cancel it.

Weather can block a signal on satellite TV. For example, if the diameter of raindrops are the right size, they can attenuate radar beams.

Snow can too. Severe rain storms can cause temporary interuptions in service, but as I explained, it was about something else.

I'm surprised streaming services werent mentioned more. I lived in Maryland for a year where broadcast television only included two channels. Yes, two channels, and one of them was a Christian TV network and the other was NBC. lol. Netflix and Hulu Plus makes me like I'm in TV heaven. lol.

Family has cable. But if I lived alone, It'd be just have an internet connection. I haven't watched any longer than 10 minutes in months.
