I cut the cord over a year ago... the savings are great! I run a Kodi box with Terrarium & Covenant. I also have an OTA antenna and converter box for local live TV. I like to tinker with technology sometimes, which you need to do with these things to stay updated...

I can't afford it. Now that I don't have it I realize that I don't miss it. I can watch stuff on Netflix that someone else in this house is paying for, but so far , I've watched one movie this year. I'd rather read anyway.

I would.
I used to stream cool documentaries on YouTube, PBS, Etc...but Comcast has put a monthly data limit on us (along with a rate hike) so I can't do that anymore for fear of going over the limit and getting charged for the overage.

Right now I have the TV on in the background while I surf online. Much of the time it's on MSNBC.

In a nutshell: MTV plays no music, The History Channel primarily runs shows about aliens and big foot, even The Weather Channel runs shows instead of presenting the latest weather. Combine poor quality programming with ridiculous prices, it was a no brainer decision (for me). I cut years ago and stream NetFlix and Amazon Prime Video.

My family prefers using the TV to mirror amusing YouTube vids from our phones. Comedy from regular folks tends to be a lot funnier than that which has been screened to death in board rooms...

I cut the cord many months ago. Of course it was an accident, and I started to panic. Fortunately, I was able to splice the cord back together, so I won't miss any more Desperate Housewives.

1996 was the last time I had a tv.... I turned it on and saw people shoving coleslaw in their bathingsuits and then running a race..... I just couldn't do it any longer... so much dumb...and they make you pay for it....

I cut it because of the cost and I seemed to watch the same shows over and over. Now I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. I’ve rarely missed cable. I’ve actually been thinking about cutting the internet completely, but will have to wait until my boys move out.

To each their own. I happen to enjoy television.

I cancelled cable after I saw Ted Cruz's face in my living room during the Iowa primary. I have a Roku, I stream Netflix and Amazon Prime and a few other. I have DVD and other stuff I don't remember the TLAs for. All in all I watch less than 5 hours of TV per week. Best part, No commercials.

Need another choice-don't watch much MTV but MSNBC.

Reading is my A number one thing. I also have problems with how big money controls the percent of TV/Video it does.

I read more than anything.... Netflix when i hear about a good show....

I don't watch any mainstream media as only 6 companies own all of it, therefore billionaires influence the agenda. I go to independents. I don't watch TV as 90 percent of it is drivel. I tend to watch youtube and download or buy interesting shows ie the handmaids tale, game of thrones, the expanse, art movies etc.

Wow! 21 people so far cut it.

I haven't yet because I love DVR (no commercials) and I'm afraid of not having easy access to MSNBC.

Can't wait to read the comments!

Watching tv takes my time ...

Severed all connection with TV years ago. Content was too lame in general and couldn't see parsing my time to watch whatever little I thought still warranted a look. Now, this is me -- personally -- the family is different. So, the house is still connected, but I'm not, but I will admit to watching a breaking news item or a documentary from time to time.

The media outlets are owned by the elite who work tirelessly to keep mankind enslaved via social engineering. The only way to retrain our brains is to cut the cord and start thinking for ourselves. Read a book instead. Lol

I have an antenna that allows me to get two major networks, PBS and the CW (I think) as well as a couple of weird channels; but, I rarely watch regular TV. However, I do have Netflix and Hulu (I pay extra for commercial free) as well as some other stations through my ROKU.

Number 1 reason was cost, cable TV is too expensive for what you get. I miss watching baseball, but MLB has a package I can do via the internet. PBS, TCM, AMC, etc. I miss but the best stuff is on after I fall asleep, no way to record. Then there are the Ads!!! I have facebook, the internet and NOW Agnostic.com I really do not need any more ways to get nothing done.

Actually, it wasn't intentional. My TV died about 2- 1/2 yrs ago and I have just never replaced it.

I cut the cord years ago. I either watch local channels with an antenna or I stream what I want to see with an android box.

I get my news from TYT

If you mean cable I liked it back in 2009
Don't need it
Don't miss it

I gave up TV 6 years ago and I don't miss it. I have never had cable. It's always been too expensive with too many low quality channels. I get both my news and entertainment from the internet.

I've not had TV in a decade. I just never really watched much, always had internet and streaming to satisfy my entertainment and news needs. It was nothing but a needless expense in out house so we got rid of it.
