Anybody NOT have cable?

[Needssome]

Does anyone else out there NOT have cable (or satellite as the case may be)? I grew up in a cableless house with an aerial and living on the border we could get all the major US and Canadian networks. Now I live away from the border with only bunny ears to get in my 4 channels. Everybody else I know (excluding my roommate) has cable. Am I the only cableless person left on the face of the planet?

none here. had it turned off--price kept going up and content kept going down. and i prefer internet pornography anyway.

 

[Needssome]

I agree wholeheartedly......internet pornography is much better. I'll keep paying for my internet and forget the cable.

I gave up my digital cable with all the channels for the internet 3 years ago. The only channels I really miss are Discovery and A&E, and I can only get the local channels now.

Haven't had cable for 7 months since I moved. Fortunately, the internet kept the withdrawl pains to a minimum. But, I'm thinking of getting cable so I can surf the net faster and see more porn. Oh, and watch the History, Discovery, and Learning channels again. Afterall, how many John Wayne marathons can you watch on TBS or TNN?

Gave up the cable DSL never did work right
gave up the ex - exclusive channels
the basic service + movie network is all I want or can afford

The only thing I miss from cable is Scifi, History Channel and A&E.... They can keep the rest.

Got tired of all the tiers, gold, silver packages and so forth. Plus the 6 local and religous channels you have to pay for and never watch.

No cable here.

Had it turned off a couple of months ago.
Its nearly fifty bucks here for basic.

Work all day, come home, surf the net for a while, read and bed.
No time for tv. Nothing good on anymore anyways.

I don't have cable ,just get the local channels.

I survive though' not much of a t.v person.

Give up my Cable internet...........Give up my A&E........
Give up my Trading Spaces on TLC.............Are you mad?????

Never......No way.......Noperoonie............

That's what I miss most...Trading Spaces...oh and A Makeover Story and A Wedding Story......I had cable at the place I rented a room last year and was completely addicted...I actually got to watch Trading Spaces this past weekend followed by Trading Faces: A Makeover Story with the two carpenters.....I was in 7th Heaven....(I also missed this season's episodes of that too )

no cable. I'm broke.

 

[sufisaint]

No cable...I rent all my movies....get the major networks...and everytime i go over my brothers I joyfully flick through 120 channels for about 15 minutes then my daughter takes over and I am stuck watching nickelodian...so then I am cured for wanting cable...

 

[ksmybuttons]

Haven't had cable in 7 years. (I know specifically because it was when my son was born that we dumped it.) Just didn't watch enough TV to justify the cost. My husband is a TV addict and if we had cable he would be drooling in front of the TV. The son gets enough with PBS.

I pay for DSL and can get my music right here on the internet.

 

[morninggirl5]

I haven't had cable in 3 years. I will miss TNT starting this weekend. I'm considering satellite, but haven't made up my mind yet.

I dropped my cable internet, $45 a month But I have to keep the basic television cable, I need my Discover channel, History channel fixes. So far basic is still only $35 a month for me.

Oh and I slipped the cable guy 20 to hook me up with HBO and Showtime again, but I still never watch them! lol

 

[phrodeau]

No cable. Nothing on TV I want to see.

I'm working on not receiving junk mail from cable services. It comes addressed to Resident. Apparently, the only way to not receive the junk mail is to actually subscribe and receive bills instead.
