Just dropped cable service. They doubled the price with no explanation. $250 a month. I said NO!
With Sling ROKU and HULU, I discovered that I really didn't need it anyway.
They made a mistake by showing me I do not need them anymore.

Do you or one of your kids have Amazon Prime?  Cheap/easy way to add to viewing menu.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

That's why I cut the cable a few years ago.

Never had cable (not available in my area) but I did have the pleasure of telling AT&T (Direct TV) to KMA a couple of years ago.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

That's where I am most of the time, is Prime. I pay for Prime for shipping purposes, so the TV and movies are just a perk... But I use it like crazy.

Also currently on Hulu, but just for my annual dose of Justified. I will drop them at the end of the month again.

Currently have ...
HULU - watch it a lot
Prime - watch now and then, it is mostly for shipping
NetFlix - because, who doesn't have NF
Paramount - mostly for all the Sci-Fi/Star Trek stuff
ROKU channels
YouTube on ROKU - watch it a lot

And, I just got Sling yesterday. Sling is an adequate replacement for cable TV for me. Never watched much cable anyway.

Fox News + History Trvl shows and TruTv show and all the other shows I got used to watching.

The irony is, cable TV is losing subscribers so they are raising prices to compensate. It does not work that way in business. All the price hikes are just going to lose even more customers, like me. I am glad they did it. I am in a better place without them.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
