We cut the cord last July. We dumped Dish. Our tv bill went from $113.00 to $28.00 plus tax a month. We have an outside antenna, we get all major networks including MeTv off of our antenna, all high definition (free). I purchased a channel master dvr+ from Crutchfield.com,so we can record off of the antenna. We also signed up for slingtv.com, a streaming service for $20.00 a month and added sports for extra $5.00 a month, no contract, month to month service. With the slingtv we have 20 basic channels we actually watch, we can't record those channels because it is streaming but several of those channels we can go back 3 days to watch whatever was broadcast. Slingtv is new and not perfect but it works for us. I also added netflix that that we share with with 3 others at a cost of little over 3 bucks a month. With Netflix the 4 screens are 11.99 a month but we share hence the savings, all legal. I then upped our Centurylink internet speed to 6mbps, fastest we can get here and our bill actually went down after doing auto pay. Yes, we still have a landline. I can actually watch slingtv on my tablet while hubby watches netflix on the big screen, or watch anything through dvr or off antenna. It has actually worked out quite well. I may drop the extra 5.00 sports package after football season but haven't decided yet. You can PM me if need be. As I said it it has worked out quite well for us. Oops forgot, we use a Roku to get plenty of free channels.
