Got rid of the phone land line, since we all have cell phones, and now thinking about ditching cable TV. Looking at the combination of over-air HD transmission combined with internet TV (e.g., Hulu). Will still keep high-speed cable internet, but do not watch enough TV to justify the additional cost. Any suggestions? What about sports broacasts? And no, I am not poor, just frugal.

for sports you'll need thefirstrow.eu or ATDHE.net

I have cable, but no a lot of people who just have netflix, instead.

I did it for over a year but sports are the only reason I made the jump back to Directv. Between OTA channels with a homemade DVR and netflix, I was perfectly happy outside of football season. The lack of espn killed it for me. I may give it another try soon. I pay too much for tv.

This isn't the OT. Most are honest and logical over here.

Here are some threads discussing dropping cable:

I got rid of it, I only regret it for Monday Night Football. Mostly it was a very good decision.
