I cancelled my dish subscription and the 11th was my last day of service. We have Netflix and Amazon prime already. I am thinking about signing up for Sling or Hulu. Sling has every one of the channels I watch except for Velocity.
Anybody else cut the cord?
Have any suggestions for streaming services?

No sir I don't watch any sports on TV, I go watch them live or I don't watch them at all.

I have a box called Kingpin that I bought a year ago. Paid $300 for it. We also have Netflix but hardly ever use it.

I'm using Sling on Roku Ultra, Roku stick, and Xbox one. Watching sports mainly and outdoors channels so I think I'm paying $55 for it. Will most likely cancel after Football season but for now it's working pretty good for that and is <25% of my ATT bill I had.
What service are you using for internet and price?

I am cutting the cord with Sirius XM...the new radio being installed in the jeep won't have Sirius, it has Bluetooth so I can get other apps on the phone...in the beater DD I either listen to NPR or WSB or this other thing I recently rediscovered called Silence. Its very peaceful.

We have Directv and we use a combo of
Amazon Fires
Roku
Logitech GoogleTv w keyboards (old ones that still work but not some apps)
Sling
Netflix
Hulu
Slowly weaning everybody off of Directv and on to Sling
With the Directv APP you no longer need all those boxes so I'll be cutting those back at the lake and maybe get to none, especially after the clingons move out. .

Been cable free for almost 4 months. Got a great over the air antenna and pick up all the major channels available. Walmart had it for under $40. As far as other tv programming I have netflix, hulu and amazon. I also have my sisters cable info for her dish service so I am able to get her cable and HBO, Showtime. I watch all of that on the tablet of laptop, phone but if I want to watch on the big screen I just plug the laptop into the tv. If you happen to have a playstation 4 or even a 3 I suggest trying out the PS vue tv service. You can do a free week trial. Very nice interface and all the major channels available for really good prices. So between all of that I will probably never go back to cable tv again.

^^ This!

We ditched cable more than 5 years ago... and don't have a OTA antenna. I don't watch sports anymore. The kids stream their shows on a Roku and don't ever see commercials which I love. My wife watches some shows on Netflix...

I watch all tv shows and movies with no issues. Some people I know stream a lot of sports live I have never really messed with it on that end . But this far I like it much better than paying a lot out for cable,,,,

We ditched cable 4 or 5 years ago. I got a 100 mile OTA antenna from work. We also have Netflix & the wife is getting Hulu soon.
We don't miss it at all. Nothi g good was ever on anyway.
As far a sports, we may not get to see every UGA game but we do get to see some great games & cuss way less now at the tv.

Careful @Krawler00 Ben, that's a felony now.
I have DirecTV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I'm ready to cut the cord. The monthly on DTV is ridiculous. The wife "has to have" HBO for Game of Thrones. We do DVR a ton of shows from major networks and cable channels. Need to spend some time to figure it out.
Did anyone read today about Netflix cancelling a dozen or so series?
-
I really wanted to try cutting DIRECTV, but was informed by a friend that they are very close to 4K. Looks like I will stick around.

Were you going to cancel because they only had 1080p or something? I don't get it...

No, I was cancelling because they messed us over on Sunday Ticket and I kind of just wanted to do it. The 4K thing just enticed me enough to want to stick around.

So, I love the idea of cutting the cord, but haven't found an economical enough solution to replacing my DVR. I've become so spoiled by not watching commercials or having to catch things live as they air that I'm not sure if I could go back, and I'm finding it difficult to find only one service that carries all of the channels that I watch. I'm with Comcast now, getting HBO for free, 99mb/s on the internet, and paying under $150 monthly.

You guys could just cut the cord and not find a replacement... :-). Its not about the money for me. I'm sure I could package up TV and Internet for less than $40/month more than I pay just for Internet. I just don't care about what's on TV.
If its just about the money, call your carrier and tell them your cancelling, and wait for their price drop or special offer to keep your business. Repeat as necessary. //popcorn//

TV is one thing I haven't missed over the past few years. The only time is when I want to watch storm stuff.... I have a iPad for that. We use Netflix's, Amazon, and YouTube. I also have an Apple TV but mostly use my Fire box with Kodi and watch movies that are still in the theaters. That thing is great and I'm sure I haven't tapped it's potential. I do all that and have the U-Verse 18mb plan.
