When we bought our home years ago, it had one of those old 10ft c-band satellite dishes. You could just order the channels you wanted without buying a package. We loved it. When the receiver went out, a new one cost $700 on up so we gave way to the small Dishnet dish.
We finally had fiber optic Internet available around 3 1/2 years ago. Immediately bought it along with a 250 cable channel package through the same company. After about 1 1/2 years and a $110 Internet/TV bill every month, we decided to cut the cable TV part. That was in early 2015. Our bill is now $48/mo for the Internet. The fiber optics is blazing fast and we have the lower end speed at 100 Mbps down, 15 Mbps up.
My wife and I have it split 3 ways. 1 for my computer man cave, 1 for her womans cave computer and 1 for our bedroom laptop connected to a 47' LG TV.
We can stream any cable news channel that's I'm aware of, and AXXO & YIFI's Bittorrent have all the newest movies we can DL.
I like watching my fav NFL football team. If they win and I want to watch the game again, within 3 days max, The Pirate Bay will have EVERY game available in a 1080 mkv video file.
Then there's YouTube videos...nuff said.
Traditional TV? Unless you live out in the country, who needs it?
