we cancelled cable/direct tv as soon as our contract ended. We were paying nearly 100 bucks a month and watching about 5 channel of which 3 were over-the-air free channels! We pulled the plug and never regret it. We hooked up a computer to the tv and watch most of the stuff on-line. We watch PBS news and World Channel live and that's about it. We watch Jon Stewart and a couple of other things and that's it. TV is awful and my husband can't stand the commercials. Most channels force you to watch one or two ads and then the content which we love. HBO is the only one I am pushing to put on-line without a cable subscription and expanded choices because they won't offer it with basic either.
