I've always said I could live without the TV, but my girl seemed to have gotten used to it from having it during college in the dorms. I liked watching animal planet and some history channel stuff...but otherwise most of it was just garbage with the occasional good movie. She didn't want to cancel it when the prices went up initially.
Well, since she pays the whole bill for cable + internet and phone. (I pick up gas and electric) I think its finally sinking into her how much of a waste of money it is. Its upwards of $100/mo for basic + HBO and cable internet. If we cancel all cable and just keep the internet it'll be like $50/mo. She suggested last night that we cancel it, and I'm all for it. I'll just grab some rabbit ears to watch the news.
The way I see it, TV is trash. And anything I want to watch I can usually download. Adelphia rate hikes show no sign of stopping. I'd get DSL and a dish if I could in my apartment, but neither are available.
