I finally cut the cord thanks to Kodi, Amazon Instant and a DTV receiver. I realized last earlier this year that $150/mo. for TV when everyone in my family was literally watching one channel a piece was a massive waste of money.
I love it. The only things I watch are things I want to watch. I don't have my thoughts and opinions shaped by talking heads anymore. Most of all, I'm spending over $1000/year less. The money I'm saving is enough to pretty much cover the note on the brand new car I just bought. Can you believe that? I literally could buy a car with what I was paying to fill my head up with nonsense.
