TV

In June my husband and I decided that we were spending too much money on cable TV, so we had it shut off. We purchased a digital antennae, which by the way only seems to work on the TV in our bed room. Not such a big deal during the summer. We missed it the first week but found plenty of other things to do. Even the first few weeks after school started we both patted ourselves on the back because we realized with out TV the kids were getting their homework done faster. Nashawn and I both even compromised on the TV show schedule. He gets sunday night football and I get Grays Anatomy on Thursday. And on Wednesday all of us pile into the bedroom for The Middle. It really has been better for all of us. That being said.....I miss TV!! I didn't get to watch any Hallmark movies through the holidays. If I am not home....I miss my show and  so I really miss my t-vo and the good old day of recording my shows and being able to watch them latter and,..... and.....fast forward threw the commercials. Seriously I am having with drawls. Nashawn is too. We both keep talking of turning it back on for just a few months, but know we are better off with out it. Soon we won't even know what great programing were missing out on. Soon when people ask if we miss cable we won't be lying to them when we tell them no :) Soon......Soon.....Soon.....(or at least its my hope!)

  1. Try hulu.com. They play some of those shows you might be missing. Also, crackle.com has movies. We ended our cable when we moved into our home in August. We had a cord that connected from our computer to our tv. Now we have the antenna. Love that thing....don't even miss the cable anymore...and we watch a lot less tv.

  3. I changed to what they said was an introductory package. A lot less money and stations, but I also invested in a ROKU that you can get netflix on if you have wireless internet or some of the gaming systems. Don't know what your setup is but there's some ideas. :0) Good Luck!!
