Well, this might be heresy...but cut the cable, and replace it with...wait for it....wait for it...nothing.
When we lived in town, our monthly telecommunications bill was nearing $400. That was for landline phone, basic cable (no premium channels), high speed internet, and cell phones. When we moved out to our home in a rural area, we cut the cable. There's no cable or DSL service here. There's also no effective landline phone, but there is 4G coverage.
I checked out the satellite providers. They won't answer real questions about real costs, and their sales tactics were off-putting, so I didn't take any of them up on any of their half-a**ed offers.
We get high-speed internet through a regional provider via microwave RF channels. Our monthly telecommunications bill is now just about $200 per month and I'm finding ways to reduce that.
We do have OTA, and plenty of channels, so we don't have "nothing" for TV. But TV is no longer the focus of our evening activities. I have a $50 stand-alone DVR box that requires no service subscription; I record some woodworking and home-improvement shows on PBS and watch those while I'm on my exercise machine.
I do look at YouTube to find vids that help me learn about things I want to know.
The end result of all these changes: We got our life back. I was amazed at how much we sat in front of the TV when we had cable; we just watched mindless cr*p. Now I have time for things that truly interest me like gardening, woodworking, and fishing. Even better: I also have time to spend rehabbing the 40-year old Lund S-14 I recently bought. That old boat is what led me to this site, to learn about something I've never done before: own, maintain, and use a small fishing boat.
