Council Bluffs, IA | Weak economy and... Programming that is not worth the cost anymore. I dropped cable months ago (not totally relevant to dish but programming is similar) and I'm honestly not missing much of anything when I can view it online when I feel like it. | |

Hingham, MA | Re: Weak economy and... You don't need cable or satellite to watch FOX, though... (well, I suppose if you get bad reception, which is an especially large problem with FOX as it has more UHF affiliates than the other major networks) | |

Valencia, CA | Re: Weak economy and... yup - I get them all on digital OTA
I just cancelled DirecTv 2 weeks ago, and haven't looked back.
Service was great, but it was just too pricey.

Bangor, ME | Just a question when you internet provider caps your bandwidth usage are you going to pay the high price for the extra bandwidth usage. Or decide that it was better to stay with tv viewing? | |

You can't tell me you ain't missing the Simpsons!
I can watch it OTA on Fox everyday here (they do a 2 hour block of Family Guy and Simpsons from 5pm-7pm alternating shows). I also have a TV that has the digital tuner built in so all I needed was a basic antenna and I get digital OTA (though Fox and CW have been farking up the digital signal recently but analog works reasonable enough for now)

Or decide that it was better to stay with tv viewing? I said when I feel like it which isn't often. Cox has made no mention of putting on harsh caps. If they decide to, then I eliminate any TV show viewing and let the economy get worse then it already has been. I don't care about TV shows as much as I used to. I've been trying to fix my life, and the first steps were limiting TV usage and internet usage.
Limiting internet usage meant canceling my MMO subscription (not WoW), and how much I use it. What have I gained (well..lost actually  ) from fixing my becoming old addictions? 45lbs lost in about 6 months from not sitting around all the time and actually making something of my life and fixing my mistakes. Still have another 30-40 to go, but its better then what I used to be so far. | |
