That wasn't today and you didn't get that from Reddit.

Re: Cord cutting

My TWC bill got to $170.

Called this week...they lowered it $20 and told me to call back at the end of the month after they switch to Spectrum as they'll have a lot of deals.

We'll see. We'll see.

It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

The whole profiles thing is cool too; does Cox Contour have that?
I know there's something with profiles, but we don't use it...I need to upgrade my boxes, maybe when/if we move...they have ones with more tuners now, and a microphone in the remote.

My ideal world is streaming but also able to watch shows on demand. We can't catch network shows as they're on, or even within a week or two, so that DVR or on demand aspect is nice.

Re: Cord cutting

I really want to get rid of my Direct TV since all we really watch is HBO and live sports. I also have Sunday Ticket to I'm sort of stuck with it.

I know you can stream sports now but I don't like the lag. On the Roku upstairs it's a good 1 minute behind and that sucks when people are texting you about the game.

You're pretty much in the same dilemma as me and I think PS Vue and antenna will be my ultimate solution. Antenna has the most live reception and I could get Tivo if I really wanted to DVR shows off the antenna. Luckily for me, my dad has Sunday Ticket so I'm just going to use his login credentials and use the app. Honestly though it's tough because if I couldn't use his, I'm not sure what I would do. I just hate paying so much for DTV.

Re: Cord cutting

Ah **** it, I caved in and went with Cox cable. Like I said I'm already paying $99/mo for 300mbps internet. Now I'm getting:

- 380+ channels
- HD Contour DVR
- HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax FREE for 2 years
- Landline (which unfortunately I need)
- Same 300 mbps internet

All for $139.99/month for 2 years.

Just too good of a deal to pass up since it's the only option to have everything all in one.
