re: Considering droppings cable again

I did it this year, and have had mixed feelings.

First, I live in a smaller town with bigger Internet reliability issues than I realized. This makes streaming content often frustrating or impossible. I'm supposed to get up to 20 Mbs, but am often left with <1.

Second, my antenna has trouble getting CBS, and the only way to remedy this is to put one on the roof.

All this aside, we are able to stream most everything through Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. The WatchESPN app is very unreliable even with decent signal.

My two biggest adjustments have been not being able to really channel surf or to easily find something when I have family come over. On demand video is much more personal as you have to actively look for a program. Channel surfing allows you to mindlessly browse until something catches your eye. When family comes over you have to explain your set up and or choose something for them.
