When one has a good internet connection, there is no need for cable. Roku TV or similar services are great and free. However, I live in an area without good internet; streaming does not work at all. So I stupidly signed up for DishTV at about $100 per month. Not worth it at all. I plan to cancel Dish soon, as half-decent DSL is arriving here soon.
