We cut the cord maybe 6-9 months ago and haven't ever even considered going back to cable. We have a digital antenna for broadcast stations, plus Hulu, NetFlix, and Amazon Prime (via AppleTV and/or AirPlay). We also buy seasons of shows like Walking Dead and American Horror Story on our Apple TV and get them the following day. Each of the pay services (Hulu / Netflix, etc) will have holes in seasons and shows so you really end up needed to get more than one to fill in the gaps but if you are saving $200/mo that goes a REALLY LONG WAY when you are paying a-la-carte. Also - if you know anyone who has Hulu or Netflix or even Cable, you may be able to fill in some gaps for free if they are willing to let you log into their accounts on your devices. This is how many people I know get things like HBOGO, which you still cannot get without having cable. Some shows are really only available on the web too. CBS, for example, has The Good Wife, which my wife enjoys watching. We pull it up on a laptop and stream it to the AppleTV via AirPlay. She was frustrated by jumping through all the hoops at first but now it's like second nature to her. In my opinion cutting the cord is a huge money saver. You will end up having to hunt a little bit more to get all the content you want without cable, but almost everything is available out there somewhere. Plus you get to give the middle finger to the cable companies. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:368683 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
