I did it over 4 years ago. The most basic cable package in my hood runs $120 with no premium channels. I pay a fraction of that now.

I use an Apple TV / netflix and I'll purchase shows I really want but can't find free. (Usually about 5 or 6 series annually for 20-$30 per season through iTunes or Amazon. )

I bought a $40 digital antenna for the network stuff. If my wifi ever bogs down a stream I'll connect my laptop via hdmi to the tv - but that's rare.

I rent movies through Amazon and iTunes as well.

HBO is the only tricky one really. When they start to let non-cable subscribers buy HBO-go then I'll have everything

Now I watch seasons of their stuff a year late or find a freebie stream.

I think all in I spent under 700 bucks last year.
