Please help me get rid of cable TV!

11. First of all, thanks to everyone for replying....

I stumbled on killthecablebill.com, and with some of your suggestions, my cable bill is down to $50/month, soon to go lower once we get rid of the phone.

We installed indoor antennas made like military mud flap antennas to our 3 tv's. They're made by Mohu. We get about 20 local channels. The antennas have a booster on them, which were a bit more expensive, but...we have aluminum siding, metal roof and aluminum-framed windows. A rooftop antenna was out of the question according to the manufacturer because the metal roof would scatter the signals, and if we installed it on a pole, the cable would be too long and degrade the signal. We are pleasantly surprised at all of the local HD channels and the quality of the picture with the antennas.

We're not really movie watchers and we can get all of the programs we watch with local broadcasts, so we probably won't get a streaming device.

Now, on to get rid of the land line phone. I'm going to look into the suggestions here for Voip.

I did talk to the cable company about usage, they WILL charge extra if we go over our limit, but we have 200GB to use. Since I don't download movies or music, we shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
