Cancel your cable bill

Since so many shows are available online for free, cancel your cable subscription but keep your internet access. It can save you up to $70 a month!

I wish you could pick and choose your channels with cable and they would charge accordingly. Due to sports watching we have 200 channel but only a handful of them that we watch regularly.

I never thought about watching TV shows from the computer. It certainly worth thinking about. I'm just not sure my husband would approve. Tiny screen you know. For me there are only a few programs I just have to see. I'll have to do some thinking. It's a real good idea tho.

I have also been contemplating this, especially since I can never really find a movie I want to watch on those channels. It seems like HBO runs the same films over and over again!

I'm so tempted to do this, especially since I generally watch old movies and can do that easy enough with videos.
