I have a decent extended basic cable package. (Got to have BBC America.) But I find I consistently watch five or six channels (the networks, BBC, and HGTV). So much of the rest seems like a waste of time. I certainly don't feel like it's worth $100 a month or whatever it costs. Do any of you cord cutters feels like you've had to sacrifice something to leave the standard cable fare behind?
I have a silly question on this "Cutting the Cable Cord".How are you getting your internet access? The reason I ask, I'm about to move back into the U.S., Dayton, Ohio to be exact, and if you're not using dial-up connection or a 4G connection wouldn't you need to use the cable companies cable connection for fast internet speed? If a lot of people start cutting the TV out of their cable service aren't the cable companies just going to jack up you internet connection rate and limit the amount you can download? I mean they have to make their profit some how.This question is meant more for my education not to be a smart-alack reply.

We stream our TV and pay Netflix 7.99 a month.
Looks like I'm going to go buy a ClearStream 2V antenna to hook up to my old TV and stop paying for my local channels on cable.Hope it works......
Well it's official that Aereo has lost its case - http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/25/aereo-loses-in-supreme-court-deemed-illegal/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D493185
Since Aereo is no longer available, I'm searching for alternatives to access local channels. The first option is an antenna, but I would need to pay someone to mount it on my roof.
Have you visited antennaweb.org? It will give general guidance on the type of antenna and direction. In the current place (and the former one too), I have an attic antenna with a preamp and it gets me all I need. Of course I had pre-wiring done to go from the attic all over.It depends on your proximity to and what is in between (e.g. flat terrain) you and the stations
