I have not had cable or satellite in over 20 years. When I "pulled the plug" I spent the equivalent monthly fees of cable in DVD/Blu Ray and now have 3000+ samples. Kids, crime, adventure, toons, comedy, series, military, SciFi, nature, PBS, you name it I have it.
At my age (74) I can see one of the many selections every year and not remember the whole plot if at all :-)
When not in DVD/BluRay land I watch over the air TV (OTA) and it's good enough without supporting the Cable / Sat TV crooks.
