Okay, it is still a new year and therefore time for some resolutions. Aside from the usual ones (eat healthier, more exercise etc.) I am taking action on a new one. I am cutting the cord. I am disconnecting satellite TV. (I know, technically there is no cord, but you get the idea.)
According to my satellite provider I have over 150 channels of pure entertainment. Actually I have over 150 channels that I virtually never watch. I mean, there is nothing on. So instead I am going back to an antenna with the local channels. I can still get the weather and the local public station is pretty good. For the money that I save I can hopefully get what I really want: a superfast internet connection.
If you think about it, do you really need television? Is there anything that you can't get online or by DVD? I will miss the sports, but I will have more time for other things. This is a fairly dramatic step, but I think I can do it. I will keep you informed.
West, we've been "free" of pay tv for some time now. No regrets. You are the second person I know to make the switch for 2010. Congrats!
