I haven't had anything but internet and a few subscription services for about 10 years now. I highly recommend it! I pay $45 a month for internet and another ~$25 on video services. Based on what I was paying 10 years ago I have saved over $20,000 in the past 10 years (was paying over $200 for cable and internet before)
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

$20K is a lot of seegars, Hawk!
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations.
We cancelled everything, except internet. We had several streaming TV options for a bit, to see what was gonna work best for us. After going through several streaming TV companies, we settled on Hulu, Netflix and Sling and of course, Amazon Prime. Everything now runs on our FireTV and we can take it anywhere with us, that has wifi.
We had with Directv for $160/month, not including Netflix and Hulu. Not including internet, now, we pay about $90/month for Sling, Netflix and Hulu and have almost all the channels we had with Directv.
It's taken us several months of trying different subscriptions, but I think it was worth trying a bunch to see what was going to work best for us.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I have been discussing this with my wife since the new Xfinity bill arrived a few days ago. 228 per month for cable and Internet!?!? Over a thousand channels and we probably watch 10, maybe 15. I will look in to options like Sling, Hulu, and NHL. Everyone knows I am tech challenged. Wish me luck!
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.
I have been discussing this with the wife for a few months but I am hesitant because I am a heavy sports watcher. Can anyone confirm what services are best for sports?
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....

"Hmm...maybe I can watch..DADDY!! Let's watch Nella the Princess Knight!"

@CharlieHeis made the jump, probably be the best resource for sports programming
The One Who Must Be Obeyed won't even discuss it. She's addicted.
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

I was very hesitant to cut the cord and now I wish I had done it sooner. I haven't missed much for sports. Check out the discussion I started in the non cigar related section.
You live in a highly populated area so all your local channels are available on an antenna, which was my biggest speed bump.
I signed up for directvnow and I use the Fox Sports and ESPN apps. Feel free to PM with any questions you may have.
Am I alone or don't you guys have an infinite to-do list???
Yes, I do. But I also ignore quite a bit of it. And when she gives me hell, I tell her that I will get to it, she doesn't need to remind me every 3 months.

To expand on your sports question @NorCalR1, I was curious as to wether I would be able to watch the Super Bowl (not really concerned, just curious) and I found it on the CBS Sports app. We don't get the locals on the Directvnow service I pay for and CBS is the only network app you have to pay for to watch their programming, and the I'm not close enough to the towers to pull a good OTA signal I'm told. But you wouldn't have that problem. I wouldn't had a problem missing this game though.
How does that work with the local games? I subscribe to the NHL version and the local team, the Minnesota Wild (which is not my team), are blacked out on here and I would have to watch on the local Fox Sports channel, which is no big deal as it is part of my directvnow package. Just curious.
It allows you live Tv on your "prefered" team. It's fairly limites on all games, bit it carried enough games that I was happy. Here os the info page. https://www.mlb.com/apps/atbat
Also folks, there is a pretty good free TV set up called PlutoTV https://pluto.tv Has a lot of channels and it is totally free.

The good thing is I don’t watch my local team as I am a Dodgers fan so not having to see Giants game won’t bother me a bit ( the wifey will be upset but she chose that other team not me Lol)

For $20/year, 2 subscriptions aren't that bad. I think you can add to your existing subscription, but not sure. I watched most the Mariners and Rangers games last year. There were a couple I wasn't able to watch, but I was able to catch another game that day.
