Roughly 6 years ago I decided to give up satellite/cable television. To be honest I got tired of paying for so many channels while only watching 5-10 on a regular basis. At the time I was stationed in Virginia and spent about $40 on a digital TV antenna and have not looked back. I was able to get 12 channels in high definition at no cost.

I found that I wasn't sitting there cruising through the channels all day trying to find something to watch and if nothing was interesting I would find something productive to do around the house. Just curious to see who else decided to give up cable.

I haven't had cable or satellite since I lived with my parents. Ever since I've been on my own I've always just had internet and it serves my needs just fine. I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime, and if there's something like Game of Thrones or another show that is unavailable to watch online then I have "other means" of being able to watch it.

I found with cable I would get almost nothing done around the house. We cut the cord about 6 months ago and now just have Netflix and Hulu and works out great...get A LOT more stuff done, and not just sitting there being brain dead drones.
