Cable Costs Going Down (Score: 2, Insightful) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-05-18 01:07 (#1PQ) Just cut the cord. What's on cable that you need to watch? I can get almost everything I want to watch online either free or a la carte, with the minor exception of HBO since those idiots refuse to take my money. I'm happy to pay $2 for an episode, commercial free, when I want to watch it. I don't see how standard cable can ever hope to win against that.

I've never subscribed to cable and don't own a TV.For the few shows that I have watched, Netflix ships them to me in a little red envelop. Additional benefits are that the bluray quality exceeds the over-the-air broadcast, the episodes contain no advertisements, and I can watch the stuff at my own pace.
