[QUOTE="Scott Tanner, post: 963938, member: 58759"] I dumped cable years ago, but still have broadcast basic because I am in a valley where antenna reception is real weak. The basic package is $8.88 a month, which include all my locals... I get a good price because I also have broadband delivered by my cable company, (time warner) but sold by earthlink... My monthly bill, including taxes is $42/a mionth for cable and internet. We don't have a land line phone anymore, just cells.. We had Vonage digital phone, for $24/month, but couldn't justify keeping it with the cells. So... with the broadcast basic, and internet, I just bought a new flat panel with internet apps, so I can watch Netflix and others... I plan to connect the flat panel to my PC so I can watch TV shows I do not get on basic cable... I also plan on getting a converter box and erecting a DTV antenna to pick up a few more channels off the air to get the chans the cable does not deliver... All in all, it is enough TV for me... When I had full cable, it is characterized as "a whole lot of nothing on".... :supercool: PS,.... Netflix runs out of stuff to watch real quick... I would think they'd have more... If you want to watch all the movies wou did not see in the theatre, it isn't bad... The selection is not what I had hoped for... I thought there might be a more expensive tier of Netflix to buy into, but I didn't see anything... [/QUOTE]
