The main reason to have cable for me is for sports now, other than that i can see anything else on the computer easily. I even bought mlb.tv so i wouldn't miss a baseball game. |
$130/month actually buys you HDTV/Phone/Internet through Time Warner. He's only "saving" ~60/month by dropping the TV, but he picked up netflix and LIVE which offsets his savings by ~$10/month.
I personally use a combination of Over the Air, Netflix, and Hulu all on a HTPC I just built, and prior to that I used my main PC that I bought over 4 years ago. The only time I had cable was at the end of my stay in 1 appartment complex that decided they were going to force cable on everyone to "save us money" except it cost me an extra $30/month. The only sports I like to watch are Football and MotoGP, so I just head over to my parents on MotoGP Sundays or have them record it and watch it later. The only show that I actually miss is HGTV's Income Property which was an interesting show to watch.
