[QUOTE="willnotgoquietly, post: 2039691, member: 9416"] HI Looks like I'm not the only one that pulled the plug on cable. We did it and left it off for a year. We turned it back on for two months and then cancelled. As others have posted, an antenna, high speed internet, and Netflix is a good combination. Don't pay for an antenna. Use the coax cable to your tv and build an antenna with a few wire coat hangers and a 2x4. [url]http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-fractal-antenna-for-HDTV-DTV-plus-/[/url] Put this in the attic. Disconnect the coax line from the TV to the splitter in the attic and connect to your new antenna. We used a Netflix enabled DVD player until be bought a smart TV. You won't believe the quality of HDTV over the air. You can HULU with a Notebook computer plugged into your TV. Another saver. If you still have a Phone line to your house, consider a Majic jack. 30 or so bucks a year is so much cheaper then the phone companies. Majic Jack works well on high speed internet connection. I use it for work conference calls. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
