I got rid of Comcast long ago. Direct tv is next. Too much for the programming I do watch. Big waste of money. Streaming is the way to go these days.

We have all of those already, except OTA which doesn't work here with 100' trees all around us. We like to watch shows on CBC that our cable system shows on CBUT out of Vancouver, B.C. Because we are in the U.S. we cannot stream them, so as long as we can afford it we'll continue to pay the additional $125+-/month. |

I personally dont see the attraction of cable/satellite tv, especially when they started adding commercials. Way back, that was the big selling point, tv without commercials.... 500 channels and nothing to watch.
I am cheap, dont see point ever adding another monthly bill. I am moving to very rural area this spring. Not sure what OTA stations available. Tried to research it but got different answers. Probably exact location in relation to terrain matters. Oh well, like to have public tv station, but if I dont.... maybe at least one commercial station with a good local weather forcast, though I can get that online. Not too put off as I like to read. TV anymore mostly something to lull me to sleep when too tired to read.... but pop in a dvd and same difference. Netflix still rents dvds by mail. And apparently at new house, they still do rural delivery to individual boxes and not make me drive miles to a clusterbox like they went to here.

Almost all of the credit card companies and time warner cable in my area have foreign sound dialogues when they speak.
I think TWC uses elephant herders in india. |
TWC doesn't exist anymore. It's been Spectrum now for a while. |
