I have cable because it's $3 a month (bundled with my cable internet) and not all the home shows I'm addicted to are available online. I had thought about dropping it until I saw just how cheap it actually is. Not gonna happen. .-= min hus´s last blog ..Gardening for the Rest of Us Part III: Tips for Newbie Gardeners =-.

We have media center on our computer. It acts as a dvr so we can record network television. You could also record cable but we don’t have it. We love hulu, and media center has a neat internet tv program that has lots of shows and pod casts.

I'd love to rid my life of Cable as well - I never watch it. But my wife does so we have to keep it. I download most of my favorite shows. We have something called a WDTV that lets us hook up hard drives filled with video up to the TV. Picture is great - can get pretty much any TV show or movie over the internet. It's a great setup. .-= jonathanwthomas´s last blog ..Two For One Ticket offer for the London Eye on the Southbank =-.

Okay! So, yes, I am paying more for Internet now than I was paying when I had cable, too. BUT. My overall bill is $50 cheaper.

What happened to me is that my “promo” price ended. I was paying $100 for all three. Then after 12 months they raised the price to $120. I called, they wouldn’t lower it, so I said eff you, Time Warner. So now instead of paying $120 for cable and Internet, I am paying $60 for Internet. That’s fine with me, though!

Ours is all bundled together- home phone, internet, and cable. I called to get our bill lowered and I don't think we'd save a ton if we just cut the cable. I really want to! My hubby is not a fan, though. :( .-= Mrs. Money´s last blog ..What Would You Do? =-.

I am still paying for cable because COM to the AST is so stupid. I have my internet through them. Combined, my bill is $40/month.

I tried to get rid of my basic cable, but my overall monthly bill would go up! Does that make any sense at all?

Didn’t to me, but that’s just the way they explained it on the phone.

Oh well.

My wife wants to keep cable. She is the boss. So, I can't get rid of it yet - not yet. I am working on it though. I think she will come around soon....keep your fingers crossed! .-= ctreit´s last blog ..Setting up a Budget when you Play the Lottery =-.

I have cable because I record everything on MythTV (a free Tivo-like interface that also allows you to skip through commercials.) But once I get my own place, I won't have the MythTV computer (will miss it dearly) and probably won't get cable. Question: are you able to get affordable internet? It seems like so many companies want to bundle things together. How do you get a good deal on internet without other services? .-= The Non-Student´s last blog ..A Public Affair =-.
