100% wrong.

HD Antennae will get you your local sports. CBS, NBC, ABC, WGN etc (in my case Comcast Sportsnet)

You want ESPN? Easy. Turn on your Xbox, get the new app, have a friend or family member activate your Xbox under their account. You have ESPN for free, and in HD with a fast enough connection.

You want NBA? Cop League Pass. You can watch it on your TVs in HD with a number of devices. Again, it's 179 or 189 for the entire year... people are paying that each month for a load of shyt that they're not even watching.

Same applies to most sports. Only games that I can't see are the TNT and NBATV ones now. And with what I'm saving, I don't care. I can go to the bar with the guys or a friends house for those if the match up warrants it.

And all the single shyt doesn't apply if your women is on the same page and knows what's up. I'm married, been living like this since March. My girl was skeptical at first, but now she has seen the light and gives no fukks about paying for cable. She don't need to be watching VH1, BET, MTV and all that wack shyt anyway. Add in Netflix, HBOGo etc... (which you can easily get access to from the fam) I have more than enough content to watch.

I have HD everything in every room of my house. And I'm paying 45 for 20mbps speeds (it was 29.99 when I first hopped on it though)

It's easier than people make it out to be.

tnt games are free and in hd on tnt overtime :jawalrus:

Cancel that package.

Cop an internet only package from somewhere
Use your cellphone as your main phone (I don't have a house line)
Download/Stream everything

Yal realize how much money yal blowing paying those crazy ass rates?

:dead:

Im 21, bout to get my own crib soon, and I definitely might do something like this. Breh, I never watch tv. Sometimes I don't understand why there is a cablebox in my room. :yeshrug: The only thing I watch is sports and HBO on sundays, the rest of the time I'm on my PC/playing the game. I donwload and stream everything. I even stopped dropping that 200 on league pass because there's a link for everything.

Explain that rate/package you have. I really want to know how the hell you gettin' what you're getting. If it's not legal, then I understand why you haven't replied.

Update:

Just called Time Warner and played hardball, told em I was considering switching

But apparently even a rate of $105/month (going up to $120 a year from now) up from $90/month aint even enough to make them care and offer me something. Basically said in their corporate-speak I wasn't paying enough each month for them to do anything about it :mindblown:

Bout to call em again tomorrow and actually switch if I don't get what I want

You in Columbus, right? Do yall still got WOW!???

I remember when I lived there, I was gonna get that or Time Warner. Back in '08 when I lived off 161, I aint even have cable. I just had a bunch of shyt I downloaded on itunes, or I'd just watch the broadcast channels:pachaha:

I had to drive all the way to groveport for work 2nd shift and usually didn't get home til 1am, so it wasn't really a need for cable:manny:

Im in the process of getting internet and cable. I was leaning for just internet but still a little hesitant. I know some cable companies allow you to use their cables to get basic cable.

And why do people still have house phones?
