I cut the "Cord"

Back in 91... no Cable or OTA TV since then. Still watch DVD's but otherwise get all the info I need from the net.

My favorite is, and has been for some time now...

Friend;

"Hey have you seen the funny commercial with the talking dog?"

Me:

"No, I don't watch TV"

Friend:

"No, no... you know the one where he is driving the car!"

Me:

"No, I don't watch TV"

Friend;

"What?.......... what do you mean you.... you mean you don't watch ANY TV???" (With a really awesome look of disbelief on face)

Just like that... still pretty regularly... almost always over a commercial or the latest sit-com.

To date it is the third best decision I have made in my life (with the only exception of when the Tour De France is being raced and I wish I could watch it live on TV)

Counter-balacing the cord cutters

I actually added a second satellite subscription last year so I could get more NHL games in HD.

Dish 250 + HD = $85/mo or $1020/yr + $165 for Center Ice

Shaw Direct Bronze + HD Sports = $65/mo or $780/yr + $200 for Centre Ice

By contrast I'm a season ticket holder for the MN Wild. 2 Lower Level Sides @ $88/seat * 41 regular season home games + 3 pre-season = $7744

So I get to see 41 regular season home games for $7744, and every other game in the league (the vast majority in HD) for $2165. Best. Deal. Ever.
