Do you still have a cable subscription?

I haven't had one for years. I never really found much to watch on TV. It's mostly reality and re-runs...
 
I got rid of that 30 years ago, i now stream what i want when i want.
 
No cable here. I use streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Hulu.
 
I still have it to watch sports lol but other than that it's really a waste, tv channels are dying though, so maybe in a few years we'll just have to pay a thousand stream services (which is still the same concept xd)
 
I actually don't have cable. I cut that even before it was trendy many years ago. lol I found myself not really having a lot of time to watch tv and when I did, I didn't like skipping through commercials. It was also getting extremely expensive.
 
I never did get Cable. I always went through Dish or Direct TV which turned out to be a waste of money in the long run.
 
It’s funny because this question is do you STILL have cable. We JUST got it lol We live rural & it wasn’t available in our area for a long time. We had Directv. We have recently switched to our phone provider for their bundle of phone, internet, TV & while we liked Directv's style, plus we were used to it, we are saving a bunch of money. I don't watch much TV anyways. My husband & I do when we are eating dinner.
 
Who still use cable :P I like it, but I'm old and it's what I've always known.

The best content is still (for the most part) on cable TV. A lot of it you can get online (HBO GO/FXNOW/etc.), but you generally still need a cable subscription to access it.
 
It has been more than three years that I decided to cut the contract with the local cable TV here. It is a waste of money to continue.
