Who has done away with Cable or Satellite TV?
Hey All,
I just cancelled my Bell service, because I mean ... seriously, $100 a month and all I watch is hockey games in the winter. Has anyone else done away with TV all together? Are there alternatives to Bell and Shaw for Television programming these days and is there anyone that doesn't make you buy all the advanced packages to get the NHL Center Ice package. I figure people must find better alternatives ... I'd love to hear what they are. I definitely don't watch enough to justify the cost ... but does anyone offer a pick and play package where you can get only the channels you use?

Had StarChoice (later changed name to Shaw Direct).
Cancelled it a couple of years ago due to poor service, deceptive billing etc. No cable or satellite service since then. Use Netflix for the kids. Adults have no time to watch TV anyway. Managed to watch a bit of the World Cup soccer on cbc.ca

I just dumbed my shaw down to basic cable. Recently purchased a media box called 'Ouya' from amazon. Installed XBMC on it and haven't looked back. Any TV show or movie is available to stream instantly, free of charge. Full seasons of shows, old or new, are available.
