Sep 2016

Let's see: my 30-something daughter and husband use free tv and netflix. My 30-something son and his wife only watch downloaded movies and tv shows for the kids, and not that often at that. My other daughter, 40-something doesn't watch anything but DVDs.

My younger brother, early 50s has a Sling box for sports mainly. My other brother, early 60s watches free tv. Gee I don't think I really know anyone who actually gets cable anymore. My mom used to, because she watched Turner Classic Movies.

My parents used to watch cable but they have both passed away. My husband and I had cable or satellite for about 25 years until we woke up to the fact that it wasn't worth the money.
