This thread is getting me closer and closer to cutting the cord. The wife even says she won't watch much TV over the summer anyhow. I am the TV hound, but I can watch most of what I want streaming on the internet.
Back to the OP, we have had DirecTV for years now as the only option other than Dish. Just recently we got AT&T DSL if that gives you an idea of where we are. I have no complaints about DirecTV, it's been a good service. The price is a little high, but everything else cost money as well, so we just paid it. Think I will shut it off though.
