Cutting the cord

I'm sure this has come up before, but for those of you who have ditched your cable commitment, what are the alternatives you're using (particularly for sports)? I already have Amazon Prime membership, Netflix, and I own an apple TV box.

I was off the chord for awhile...I found it didn't save money. I'd end up going to sports bars to watch games and spend more money than I would have if I kept cable....so I went back to cable. While I like sports I can completely do without sports commentary. I'd be thrilled to save $3/month and have them disconnect all the ESPN channels.

We also have a land line that we don't need, but of course when I go to Comcast and say I want to ditch it they say "well then you've UNBUNDLED everything", and it ends up costing me more money. I can see going in there, and getting rid of the land line and cable but having to keep the internet and having them tell me, ok well your net savings is $25. In which case it's probably not worth it

I love my Amazon Fire stick, but sports would be problematic.

I was considering going with one of the alternative TV broadcasting systems. Like PJ, once I considered Golf Channel, ESPN, Big Ten Network, Fox Sports 1, etc, it didn't work. If I didn't love sports, it would be a winner to move away.

I'm going to try it again, however I will try the "starter" cable and then use Roku with the TWC channel to nab the "real" cable channels. The total cost will drop quite a bit.

Playstation Vue looks pretty interesting. ~$64 per month for all local channels and many cable channels including HBO and Showtime - works on Roku or Fire Sticks as well. Playstation Vue

I dropped cable and recently went to over the air channels. I'm not close to a city but get 3 of the 4 majors, (and I'm working on getting a better antenna which should bring in NBC too), and a total of near 30 channels. Most stations are now digital so no more snow; they either come in or they don't, (with some occasional glitches with weak signals where you get freezing). I put an antenna on the roof and then piped it through my cable system so I get it in every room. Some rooms have better reception than others, but I'm working on that too, with amplifiers and perhaps some new wiring.

It isn't perfect, and none of the channels like NatGeo, SYFI, or History and there are quite a few stations running old, old shows, (Munsters, MatchGame, Rosanne) but there's enough to keep me entertained and $0 is a hell of a lot better than $80+ a month.

I have Comcast cable for Internet and my tenants TV shows with a box.
I dumped my land line years ago and went with Magic Jack +. Works OK. $5 a year if you buy a $20 package.
All of my TV's are gone,now.

Just Internet for most of my needs. Netflix is usually good stuff.
There are free streaming sports,if you are willing to DIG for them.

The cheap boosters for cable (rg-59) works OK,with some tweaking.
