Do you know people who don't have cable/dish tv or no tv at all?..

I've only met one person. He was a little older with no kids.
I think about this from time to time when people bitch about living from pay check to pay check and being broke. I wonder how many people out there realized that one could survive without having to pay for tv.

I think about this from time to time as well...think of the money the average family could save if you cut out all telecom except a single telephone line...

Nah man. It is an American right to have a smart phone with the full data plan for everyone in the house.

Why on earth do I need to pay 80+ bucks a month for a bunch of channels I won't watch when I can watch what I want, when I want it?

Hand raised. I don't watch much besides sports, and everything's available online somewhere if you know where to look.

I have a 65" TV, $3200 pair of speakers (RF-7), expensive amp, preamp, and DAC.
But I have no cable because I'm cheap. Haven't had cable since the 90's. I get by with rabbit ear antenna and firstrow.eu.

If I was living alone, I would have no problem at all with no cable. I would rather read anyway and you can rent for free from the library or find stuff on-line.

if it weren't for sports, I would have removed cable long ago....

I don't have cable and I have access to more stuff than cable subscribers.

I haven't had a tv since I moved out after high school. A mix of hulu, netflix, redbox, espn through internet provider, subscription to a sport and Front Row sports is plenty.

I didn't have cable for almost two years until my SO and i moved in together. Now we have an obscene # of channels.

My brother just has rabbit ears (cut the chord last month), but he also has Netflix and I think access to ESPN 3 somehow.
My Aunt and Uncle up in Baltimore don't watch TV or have Air Conditioning.

If I could pay for around just 5-6 channels that I actually watch, plus local tv, that would be a perfect setup. But nope, 1000 channels that are mostly crap is the current situation. I went one year without TV before.

I just use the antenna. If there is something I want to watch, i find it online or go to the bar. I also use my brothers Netflix account when i want.

We got rid of cable last week bought a roku for living room then Chromecast for bedrooms. I use firstrowsports, antenna and watch tv shows online. Don't miss it at all

Serious question, how do you watch LSU games (assuming you want to catch all of the fb games)? I would guess ESPN 3 but you need a corresponding cable provider? Do you get to watch them live?
