Questions about dropping Cable TV
Posted on 3/5/14 at 6:56 am

I know this has been discussed on here before, but I am considering pulling the plug on cable tv.
My biggest concern is Live Sporting events, specifically USCe football. I can use my parents watchESPN account to watch most of it, but want to know a little more about blackouts from WatchESPN.
Any other advice?

If you have this login you will be able to watch anything on any ESPN channel they subscribe to via their cable provider. No blackouts.

That can be a concern.

What does that have to do with live sports?

DISH Network could be a viable option for you. Get the base package without all the bells and whistles DVR junk and you should be paying $50 after the first 12 months savings. It is cheaper than the $69.99 basic cable from COX

OP, I don't have internet at my home for the same reason (babies). We use our smart phones for surfing, and I think our DTV bill is $50/month. Not bad.

The problem for me is when you cut cable, you still need the Internet. In BTR Cox makes it almost as expensive for Internet only as one of their bundles. Any recs on Internet only in BTR?

Don't do it. My family lasted about 3 months and went back. You don't save much money, after subscriptions and faster web speeds.

I did it using Roku and hd antenna. Been off for two months and the only thing I miss is big bang theory on dvr.

I havent had cable in about 3 years and I dont miss it. I have wifi with all the streaming services and a Mohu Leaf Plus antenna. I get most Saints games on my tv in HD and the local stations come in better than I had with cable.
If i cant pick up a game I just go to a friends/bar/family's place to watch it.
One of the best decisions I've ever made. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Ive saved thousands $$$$$$!
eta: I have both Amazon Prime and Netflix for streaming shows and movies, but if I could only have one I'd go with Amazon Prime simply for the added perk of free two day shipping on their products.

Jesus.
Just do it. If you don't like it you can get cable again.
