just the orginal 4, 7, 9 and pbs for us. i wish you could cherry-pick channels, like hgtv, discovery, disney and showtime without getting all the other crap.

    We didn't have any cable up until early this year. We caved and had cable turned on the day the Steelers made it into the playoffs.

    I never thought I would see the day when you had to pay for TV. I guess I am showing my age.: :grumble:

    No cable, but we do stream-hulu, netflix, amazon. Love it so far and it's been since February of this year. We still haven't felt the need to go back.

    I don't have cable - read or watch a movie on Netflix.The television that was in my place when I moved into (it was furnished) has never been on (that was in January).
  • ***Raising hand*** I refuse to pay to watch TV. We are a dvd kind of family. And Hulu. Freeeeee!

    I have a television, but no cable, no local channels. It's just for watching DVDs.

    Netflix and Hulu. We don't have a digital box, so we don't even have the over-the-air channels around here.

    I have a TV but no TV channels. I use it to watch Netflix through my roommie's XBox 360. He wants to get cable, but it doesn't matter to me. I can... um... yes, watch the shows the next day. On the network's website, of course! :laugh:

    I tried to get cable. It didn't work out. Apparently the previous tenant in my house didn't pay their bills. I've sent all kinds of proof that I am not them and that I lived elsewhere at the time. But they refuse to lift the hold on my address. It's been ~2 1/2 years now.

    When I get my condo, Im not gonna bother setting up cable. With high speed internet, there is no reason for it whatsoever for me to get it with sites like hulu. I also have a harddrive with about 900 movies on it, which works as my own personal netflix

    I have it, but getting it super cheap cuz I threatened to cancel. As soon as that special price goes away, I'm done. I could not even tell you when I turned the TV on! Not happy with NetFlix & the price increase, so that may be the next to go... I live for my music, XM radio, no commercials! X keeps forgetting to cancel my subscription!
