Dish or DirecTV

[Jewels]

dropping TV from my fios plan only saves me $35 a month, so not really worth the effort since I like to watch the news channels and live hockey.

I went the other way, I dropped netflix because I almost never watched it.

what really kills your bill is the 18 networked HD DVR BBQ boxes that you rent for the tv in every room of your house, along with the crazy channel packages.

cut down to one non-dvr box on your main tv, with the regular channel package, you will watch less tv just because you are bored, and have 99% of your viewing covered when you want to watch something. Will also save a ton of money, and not have to mess with pointing a yagi antenna on your roof or juggling a bunch of video service subscriptions with their laggy apps

That's basically what we've done. We cut our TV back to just basic and upped our internet speed. We dropped Netflix because we never used it, and we already had Amazon Prime. We haven't even plugged in our cable box but will probably do that soon since Football is back soon. We only watch what we want to watch via a usb drive most the time, and have been getting caught up on a couple of things via Amazon Prime on Rex's smart TV. With all that we've probably saved 60 bucks total. Which not seem like a lot, but when you are buying food for a Toddler that eats like a ravenous wolf you appreciate that. Also, we don't have a ton of time to watch tv anyway. Hannah doesn't watch tv, and so we only watch after she goes to bed most nights.
