Re: I will be changing my future plans..

I'm in the same spot in regards to sports programming. This is a huge part of our cable bills. It seems every year ESPN goes back to the same well and dips in for more money. The cable operator complies because it knows it has a bunch of angry customers on its hands if it does otherwise.

I'm considering unscrewing the coax from the wall for a week and seeing how it goes. I can easily get 75% of the content I watch over the air. At least half of the remaining stuff is available online in some sort of official capacity. And of course the remaining content is out there on P2P, though I prefer to avoid that. The convenience of cable bringing it all on the same line is nice, but it's still advertiser-supported programming and that convenience charge is getting a bit too much these days.
