Cancelling paid services is "cost cutting", not "cord cutting"--or else Verizon owes me a whopping refund.
When consumers "cut the cord" with their landline phones they did so to enhance mobility. In so doing, the cost for telephone serivce went up by a factor of five or even ten.
When you cut your cable tv line in favor of sat, you got TV that could travel. When you cut the sat tv cord in favor of IP tv, you got your cords back again.
If the OP's happy, I'm happy for him. But good luck trying to download anything through CG wifi, and if you're happy with OTA TV, then Dog bless you.
In broadcast television, cord cutting, cutting the cord, and cord shaving refer to patterns of viewers cancelling subscriptions to subscription television services, dropping expensive pay television channels or reducing the number of hours of subscription TV viewed in response to competition from rival media.
With that said, we just use the recorded shows when we are boondocking and cannot get over the air or cell service. We have a Verizon 40 gig data plan and a AT&T 40 gig data plan so we are covered there. We get to pick and chose what we want to watch.
We dropped our premium satellite service because it was terrible, nothing much worth watching unless you like mindless dribble, bathroom humor, foul language and the dumbing down of America.
If that is your idea of premium satellite programming and you are happy with it then Dog bless you too.
