I shut off the tube 30 years ago (except for local access like VCR/DVD/LaserDisc).

To be fair, we did get cable for about 6 months when my youngest was in Kindergarten, but that was just for Mr. Rogers, Bear in the Big Blue House, Reading Rainbow, and similar things. Then we dropped it.

but hubby needs it for the soccer channels, and the kids watch some live TV.

On the up side, we subscribe to digital TV over our phone line from our locally-owned phone company. It's nice to run into the owner at social gatherings, and he asks us how things are going with the service, etc. Buy Local!

Nothing but a seven and a half inch square wire antenna, Redbox, and DSL internet via a local provider.

Every month I feel $75 dollars wealthier.

you should be able to get some channels simply by plugging your tv into the cable outlet, we get enough channels that way to keep us entertained, including a half dozen pbs channels and all the local affiliates, and i was able to watch the convention on cspan. i do miss food network, though.

At $100 a month saved, you're onto something.

I dont think an hd antenna would work where we are. However we do have netflix and it is wonderful!
