We got basic cable just for better reception. We only watch a couple of stations, and even that's dropped off a lot lately. We get our movies from Netflix, only two at a time, so it's not much money at all, especially for how many movies we see.
We've been trying to wean ourselves from a lot of things, too. Trying to simplify.

I'm fortunate to have artesian springs, so no water bill.
no garbage bill.
no gas bill.

We do Hulu+, Amazon on demand, Crackle, and other internet channels w/over the air digital antenna for local channels. Works pretty well.
Direct TV. However they don't have my local channels for the market I am in. I am thinking of getting digital box to see if I can get the local channels. That is the nice thing about country living.

We suscribed to DirectTV for several years, without any movie channels I watched the bill go from just under $35 to over $60 with no significant changes to programming. When we moved we decided to take the opportunity to wean ourselves from pay TV. We can't get satellite here due to no line of sight and I didn't want TWC. I'm waiting for AT&T to install U-verse in this area so I can get rid of the Earthlink/TWC internet.

Out here in the boonies, satellite is the only way we can some channels. About twenty years ago i used an antenna to get 1 channel clear.
