No Cable...update

An update on the lack of cable...it's been okay so far. We still have the main channels like CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox...and then there are some random channels like Retro TV offered (old school shows). It truly hasn't been that bad...to put it all in perspective: we are saving $50/month, we are getting rid of some of the "crud" that's seen on cable tv (with kids this seems like a good thing), & you can still access other shows via the internet if you wish. The negatives...the same channels do not always pick up (we just moved our tv to the other side of our living room and I have had to move the digital antenna around several times) & you are limited to what you see (but that can be good or bad). On the other hand, if you are like us and appreciate shows that old channels like HGTV offered, then there are some offered on these public channels too. I was surprised to see it truly...and there is a channel that appears to be devoted to kids too (qubo?) So...for whatever the reason...whether because you have children, you need to cut cost, you need to cut your dependence on tv, etc...it can be done! It's kind of been encouraging so far!
