I don't have cable. Netflix (physical disc and instant) and Roku is all the entertainment I need.

Y'all poor if you can't afford 200 bucks to power your 7 TVs around your house. It is not even worth my time to look for free shite online vs hitting 1035 on my remote to watch LSU on TV. $200 bucks a month for all the channels in HD, 3 DVRs, Internet and phone. That is peanuts.

Going to a bar twice a week to watch games has to be more expensive than $100/month plus having to walk/drive/cab there.

I cancelled my cable 6 months ago after realizing I had not watched it for 2 weeks. Everything I watch is available for free on the internet.

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 don't pay for tv.

I'm about to be one of these people. I used to pay $20 for (albeit shitty) basic cable from my apartment. Now they are cancelling that service and encouraging us to switch to Charter. I'm basically waiting for it to go out since I didn't get charged this month.
I never watch TV outside of sporting events. I'll start shopping for something else in a month or two or once it gets closer to football season.

I have a TV but it's hooked up to a PC, I don't get cable.

We get 4 pbs channels through HD rabbit ears. That's 3 more than the local cable service provides. We get cable for football season and then take the box back. The shows provided on cable are absolute horse shite. I don't understand how people watch these shows with about 1/4-1/3 of the time being commercials.......and you pay for this.

I don't pay for cable TV in my apartment. I can watch anything on the Internet, and I still get a few random channels on the TV somehow anyway. I mostly just have the TV for gaming systems.

Do you have any old consoles, like n64?

My TV has become all but obsolete. Download or stream everything

Been staying with parents for a few days while my floors get refinished. They have DirectTv with a ton of channels and it's just made me realize I don't miss cable AT ALL (we cut the cord 6 months ago or so)

I don't want it, but it's included in my rent.
