A research firm called Kagan has reported that 1,200,000 households have quit subscribing to Pay-TV in the third quarter this year. More and more households have gotten fed up with ever rising prices combined with ever declining quality. Having done this myself 11 years ago, I don't blame them at all. as I saw this coming over a decade ago. It looks like the Pay-TV industry  feels that the solution to cord cutting is to add more commercials and more "Reality Shows" and raise prices. They are in a death spiral, and the loss of customers bear witness to this.

I quit paying for TV going on 15 years ago.

Haven't paid a dime to watch TV since June of 2003.

If I hit the lottery for millions, I still wouldn't get cable or a dish.

Happy with my antenna.

Might get Netflix come January.

We installed our big TV in August, we have all the tools to cut the cord we just got to do it. If Optimum soon-to-be-called Altice gets to be too expensive we will definitely dump them.
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

I love my antenna!!!

Even with all the Spanish, religious and other stations I don't want deleted from the lineup, I still get about 50 channels.

Back in the late 1970s I thought I'd be in Seventh Heaven if I had...

1. A Big Screen TV

2. A VCR

3. HBO

I finally got my wish, in 1980 I subscribed to HBO, and in 1984 I got my first VCR. In 2005 I got my first Big Screen TV. Today I have a Big Screen TV along with a VCR/DVD Player, A Region-Free DVD Player/Recorder and a Blu-Ray Player, but No HBO. In the early 2,000s as my VHS library got larger, it got to the point I didn't need it anymore. In 2002 I received my first DVD Player (Along with my first DVDs , little did I know what would happen four years later! LOL
