I don't pay for cable.
I have cable internet and just download everything I want to watch.
I think cable is kind of stupid, why pay extra to have all these channels that run on a schedule so you can't watch what you want when you want and you get all your shows interrupted with ads to buy more stupid useless shit.
$30/month for internet and $10/month for my VPN, and I can watch whatever I want, whenever I want without commercials.

What, you are paying for a service that allows you to watch programming which is paid for by advertisement. If there where no commercials, there would be no programming, except for PBS, BBC and any other publicly funded stations.
I just wish that cable and satellite providers would let you pick the channels you wanted and pay a la carte. I don't hundreds of channels, I bet i could live happily on around 20.
Shit I used to get free satellite, every channel broadcast by DISH and I still couldn't find shit to watch. Granted one of those tivo things or whatever would of helped. I miss those days.

I have my laptop stream my shows and movies wirelessly to my xbox which is hooked up to a 46" tv.
I wouldn't watch stuff on my laptop screen that would be just lame.
I'd rather DL, anyway, I can get the best of the best quality.

My 4g kept working when I quit paying for service. I dunno why, the cell provider must have fudged up. Then I downloaded talkatone so I can make calls and texts, for free over the 4g. Works flawlessly, unlimited & free 4g, calls and text.

Netflix doesn't run any ads and they have a couple original shows that are quite decent. Their subscription fees are also a fuck of a lot cheaper than cable.

Oh yeah I should have mentioned netflix.
I don't pay for it, I just use my mom's account, but netflix is nice. I also use my moms amazon prime account, which imo, has better movies and shows then netflix.

Yeah it's pretty much like basic cable but no ads and much cheaper, plus it's all on demand.
