I have TWC internet only, which I will be switching to WOW soon because fuck Comcast.
Use Netflix($9/month) and Jetflicks($50/year) for TV and go to bars for sports.
If you do have Netflix, I highly recommend downloading Hola onto a laptop or PC you have hooked to your TV. Hola allows you to change the country your browser is loading from on Netflix's site and gives you a MUCH better selection of movies and shows. I've had the best luck with Great Britain and Canada, other English speaking countries are worth checking too.
