Here is a diagram of my setup at the house. Please keep in mind that I'm an extremely cheap bastard and yes, you are correct, I technically just regrew my cord.

Cox Internet with Flex Watch - $71.21/month

I had a discount with Uverse internet and when it ended I tried to increase the speed and get a new 6 month discount but the 24 down that I had was the fastest they offered. When I was looking at Cox for internet I saw this deal and felt like I was pretty much getting free TV. Especially once I cancel in almost 2 years and can still watch TV.

The HD receiver is very old and very slow so I put it away and ran my existing coax directly to the TVs. I can't access on-demand or premium channels without the receiver but I can access the premium channels with my login information. The only channels that are in HD are the local networks (what you would already get with an antenna) but the kids love that they can watch live Disney and Animal Planet shows because we didn't have cable for almost 2 years.

I haven't had any issues with the internet. The speeds are advertised as 50 down / 5 up and this is fairly typical.

I'm under contract for 2 years. After the first year the cost increases by $10 and after my contract is up they get back to their usual garbage ($120+).

Netflix & Amazon Prime Instant Video - $20.25/month

I don't have Prime for the video service but I figured I'd throw it in anyway. I pay the extra $4 for Netflix because the kids use it a lot and I share my login with some family.

Outdoor Antenna - $60 - $65

I bought a generic outdoor antenna that's about 6' long from Radio Shack but you can get them a good bit cheaper. I installed it in the attic in a corner by bolting the pole to a ceiling joist with 2 U brackets.

Modem - ±$85

One of the white DOCSIS 3.0 Surfboards which is also the same one you can rent from Cox for like $8 a month or buy for $150.

HDHomerun Dual - $100

Again this is something you can probably find cheaper but if I had it to do it over I would probably buy one of the DLNA compatible devices with 4 tuners for another $50-$75. I've thought about a cable card version but I know I would probably only use it for one cable contract and never use it again.

HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) - $400

I have a gateway I got from Newegg with windows 8.1 running Plex and WMC (Windows Media Center). Media Center configures the tuners on the HDHomerun and handles all of the dvr functions you'd expect from a dvr receiver for my local channels via the antenna. If you have an extender like an Xbox you can use it as a receiver to access the guide, watch live TV and set recordings. I also have remote couch potato server on this machine but don't use it because I never have the need. It is able to stream the tv channles from my tuners.
My family uses this machine as a standard pc on a regular basis and it's what I'm using to type this.

2TB External Hard Drive - ±$100

Fire TV Stick - $40

I recently sideloaded TVMC and I'm really loving this thing and everything we have access to. I like the fact that you can play some somewhat good games on this little thing but the cost of game controllers is $40.

Rokus - $50-$100

For sports that aren't on the local channels I use a family member's login for WatchESPN and Kodi for everything else.

Whew. Now I'm gonna go have a drink.

j/k I was drunk the whole the time.
