About a month ago, I cancelled my cable TV service - I had only basic cable and I really don't watch that much TV (more and more I'm watching off the web). I was still getting a TV signal and I figured since I had high speed internet, the company couldn't separate the signal - until tonight. My TV is old, so I'd need a converter box to pick up over the air signals, but unfortunately I can't put the antennae I'd need out because of HOA restrictions. So right now I just get snow, although I get weak signals from the 'premium' stations. Go figure.
I'm saving $25 a month (hey, got to save money for VanCon) so we'll see how long this lasts. The last time I went without TV was years ago when I had first moved to California and was staying in my sister's apartment that she hadn't moved into yet, but needed to start leasing (ah, the joys of the dot-com era) and my place wasn't ready yet.
