How much is your cable bill people

Well holy hell man my latest cable bill is north of 80 dollars. The fuck, bro. When I signed up I got Showtime & HBO because they were giving me the first 6 months of each free and now I guess the part where I actually have to pay for them is kicking in.
Plus they're charging me an extra 20 for the HD DVR box. Beeeeyatches. And yeah I know I could cancel HBO/Showtime but I like both.
For those who have cable/satellite how much do y'all pay a month

I pay 50€/month, that includes C More/Viasat and a couple of Finnish cable channels.
Total of 12 channels, and I only need five(for sports), but I can't get them separately

We decided to cut the cord like 5 months ago. It was the hardest thing ever, but I see absolutely no difference. We use internet and Netflix. So I guess you could say we pay about $60 a month. We still get to watch everything we used to

I would if all I watched was movies and tv series but I watch a lot of sports. The main reason I got HBO & Showtime was for their boxing coverage. And yeah, I could stream a lot of the sports but naaaahhh, I'd rather have it in crystal clear HD on my television.

You probably could catch some of it on an antenna in HD.

Ours will be pretty close to that this month unless they cut me a deal when I call them and start fake bitching/threatening to leave

I feel ya bro.
Fuck, I don't even watch boxing but the NHL/FA Premier League/La Liga/UEFA Champions League.
For those I have Viasat Hockey/Nelonen Pro 1&2(for NHL), then C More Sport 1&2, and Nelonen Pro 1&2(for soccer).
So actually I'm using 5 out of 12 cable channels that I pay for

I didn't think about sports! We stream HBOgo, Netflix, and HuluPlus through our AppleTV, so we get that in HD (I think...it looks great, so I dunno) Everything else I watch online. I was told I could get a cord and hook it up to the big screen, so I'm gonna look into that soon. We got HuluPlus so we could watch recent shows on the TV, since Netflix is like a season behind at best. Some of their Hulu Originals are alright. But I don't think it's worth it. It's just $8 a month, but still. I'm ready to disconnect and it's only been like a month.
But back to the point, you should totally call up and threaten to cancel. Every time I did, and I mean EVERY time, they offered me a sweet deal for like 6 months at a time. Do eet!

Yup all that shit adds up. And then they make you get the entire package so you end up with a lot of channels that you'll never even use.
Why can't their be a provider where you can fully customize your channels? That would be good, I think. I feel like 75% of my channels go completely unused.
