Quote:I'm strongly considering cutting tied with my cable company and just going the Netflix route (or something similar) as outside of sports I watch very little TV. I can't even watch a Jags game through cable unless I'm lucky and they play an NFL North team on the road and that game is picked or the rare prime time game. Even then I work most Sundays so if I did get lucky and it was on TV here odds are decent I wouldn't be able to watch it live.

Have any of you cut the chord and got rid of TV or just never had it? I thought I'd seen something where Eric had done it or was considering it. I pay $120+ a month for cable and Internet (most of it is cable) to watch a few things a month. The more I think about it the more ridiculous it sounds that I ever paid that much for it to begin with.

I haven't used Netflix or any streaming alternatives much so thoughts and opinions on those would be welcomed too.

A pet topic of mine. I think Eric and NYC have both cut the cable. I keep mine around for Sunday Ticket but I think I've found a way around that also.


That being said, 90% of the time I use my AppleTV and Netflix, which is run through my AppleTV anyway. I never go without something to watch through it.


I've tried at various times Hulu Plus, Vudu and Amazon Prime and I eventually settled into iTunes and Netlix. If the NFL ever makes itself available outside of DirecTV, I'd cancel the whole thing the next day.
