Steal. It's what most do.

ETA: And right on cue, several posts about cutting the cord by "borrowing" login info.

The method most use is to steal services paid for by others who haven't cut the cord. Parents are a good source if you can swallow your pride and use the digital equivalent of living in their basement.

You get all the basic channels with your cox internet or you can just use a antenna if your reception it good enough. I have a login for ESPN for roku and a login for foxsports1.

Whatever. I save $200 a month by using my parents' login info. I have a family of my own and have enough pride, thank you.

Many of the cord cutters won't admit that they wouldn't be able to cut the cord without having access to someone else's account

SlingTV has started to change that, but I still stick with directv for the convenience and for the camp

Pretty much sums up every conversation I have had with cord cutters.

Not for long, Cox is going to little digital boxes for everyone that gets their cable TV from the wall (not through the standard digital paid-for box). This is to keep this very thing from happening. They are starting with businesses and are doing residential after that. It costs about $2 a month, from what I understand. It is digital and includes some of the channels that you normally wouldn't get straight out of the wall (like OWN and ID for example).

My cable bundle is around $240 a month but can get up to around $325 if I don't threaten to cancel. I would feel like a caveman without it. If it's that expensive to you maybe you should find a second job or ask for a raise. I bet you're another broke arse republican

fricking hippie cord cutters. You guys are like Ham Radio operators trying to replace a cell phone then bothering me in the food stamp line to borrow my obamaphone so you can call your mother 3 states away.
