Thanks for commenting. Certainly cutting out premium channels saves a lot, and so can bundling with Internet. If it only costs you $2 more per month for basic cable in addition to your Internet, that sounds like a great deal. Unfortunately, that didn't look like an option when we got our Internet. However, we've been able to find pretty much everything we want to watch online at the network websites or on sites like Hulu. It seems like we're going to have more and more options as networks start working with their online audiences, so I'm sure there will be plenty of ways to save money. Thanks again! Hi, Dan!

We’re saving $100 a month and not missing a thing. The kids can watch their favorite shows on PBS and Netflix and I can get ESPN on my Xbox 360. We still have cable because we don’t want the hassle of making a OTA antenna work. Also for $2 more we have basic cable because it is bundled with our high speed internet. I can live with $24 a year instead of dealing with installing the antenna. My wife and I dropped our premium channels and just have basic cable and internet service via Comcast.
