I canceled cable years ago. I have never missed it for a single moment. Now, I enjoy every single thing I see on TV, because I only watch what I really like, on Netflix.
I'm too weak to cancel cable and go to regular television.
you would be blown away by the picture quality. Soooooo much better than cable
Obviously I'm going to have to do some exploring of my options.
Go buy a cheap set top antenna (Make sure its one you can return) and see if you can pull in ay channels. If one comes in half way strong I think you would be amazed at the picture.
I put my $40 antenna in the attic of my house. I get 19 channels. OK, most is network crap but.........
We have to use digital converter boxes in my city. I don't think you can get really any channels with an old fashioned antenna here.

Lol.
I can't get satellite anyways because I rent a townhouse, and my landlord won't allow it.

Tell your landlord to shove it....

If you have a flat screen TV (Hi Def) the converters are not needed. If you need a converter they can also be bought from stores with return policies!
Some local stations have a staff engineer that can help you with antenna questions. When I was at a relatives home in Berkley CA a couple years ago I think they could pick up close to 30 channels.
It doesn't. That's the point. Power goes you're shit outta luck. Internet goes down ditto.Is that thing battery powered? How does it work when the electricity is out?
i am sorry to hear that
maybe go just internet with netflix & direct tv
you can watch direct tv streaming

been doing an antenna and internet only for 3 months now. a few problems but all in all I am happy and the extra $130 in my pocket each month is a nice plus
I love in a place with a large variety of different streaming services. I've had local cable for more than 20 years and blackouts are extremely rare - usually something the company is not responsible for.
My only problem is that out of the hundred plus channel available - the vast majority of them show utter trash. There is very little entertainment left in the television/movie industry.
That's when you use your cell phone until the power comes back.It doesn't. That's the point. Power goes you're shit outta luck. Internet goes down ditto.Is that thing battery powered? How does it work when the electricity is out?
i had Time Warner Cable ...worst customer service i have seen....went to the Dish....never any problems....then along came AT&T U-Verse....have had it for 3 years,has never been down,never have they increased the price,have great customer service.....TV,Internet all through the phone lines ......cable...satellite...bah!....I think I'm going to start charging my cable company money every time my cable TV, my phone, or my internet (or ALL three) go down. My cable TV has been out now for about an hour. Don't you think they should take some money off my bill? I'm sure if I added up all the times I lost one of the three, it would add up in a year's time. I should start keeping track of this and send them a bill.
Synth is correct. I'm 6 months into VoIP. Works well at a fraction of the cost.what about VOIP is for suckers?Cables does suck. But the only way you could have lost your phone and internet is if you are one of the suckers who uses VOIP.
I've heard that you get charged more and have more hidden fees and stuff like that. I'm not sure though. It would be interesting to find someone in my area who pays for all 3 services separately and see if they pay more than I pay for the bundle. I imagine that, even if there are savings, they wouldn't be all that significant though.
I've been using this for the past 1.5 years, and it's unbelievably good:

Better sound quality than a landline, I got it for $99 at Costco, and all I pay is $2-$3 per month for local/state/fed communication taxes.
It is placed between your modem and your router to ensure that call quality is not compromised. I love mine.
