It comes pretty good in our area…In our home we like to promote more productive use of time…The cable is often just a symptom, but canceling is a great show of discipline that break the cycle!

I’ve been in your shoes for a while now. I just can’t bring myself to quit cable. But it’s hurting my pocket and I know I have to make a decision soon enough. Needless to say, I learned some stuff here. Thanks.

I gave away my television a few years ago and have not regretted it a bit. If I have the urge, I could always watch some PBS documentaries on my computer, but I am not into sports or dramas or sitcoms, and so I do not feel like I am missing anything.The cable is often just a symptom, but canceling is a great show of discipline that break the cycle! Great job.

Thanks for the support guys/gals! I will let you know how it is going in a later post, but so far the amount of TV we are watching has been drastically reduced!

laketrout,

Hopefully the canceling cable helps change your habits, because those habits are what will really change our lives. The cable is often just a symptom, but canceling is a great show of discipline that break the cycle! Great job. I look forward to seeing how it helps us both.

We just canceled our cable this month too for pretty much all the same reasons you did.

My wife and I just waste too much time in front of the TV and not enough time doing other things to enrich our lives.

Neither of us want to raise our future kids to be addicted to television.

ata boy Rock! we’ve learned to love life apart from TV (minus our endulgence w/ the Office – though we’ve missed that for the past 6 or 7 weeks, too.). The one thing I’ve found myself saying, though, is ‘I wish I could occasionally watch sports.’ Well, our high speed internet provider just offered us a package that’s actually slightly less than we’re currently paying and gives us ESPN360.com, which I don’t fully understand yet, but seems to offer some access to sporting events…you may want to check it out.

Way to go! Cold turkey. After awhile you won’t even miss it. We really need to get back to basics. Maybe exercise a little. Introduce ourselves to our family. I agree with Shela. Let’s talk!
