Comments on: Cutting the cord — The decision to quit Cable TV http://backyardlifeblog.com/2013/04/cutting-cord-the-decision-quit-cable-tv/ Because the little things in life ARE the big things! Mon, 11 Mar 2019 16:08:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Raun Lauterbach http://backyardlifeblog.com/2013/04/cutting-cord-the-decision-quit-cable-tv/#comment-637 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:19:00 +0000 http://backyardlifeblog.com/?p=2183#comment-637 Thanks for your support, Eddie. Liz called me right after she cancelled the cable and it felt like a breakup. It was very strange to have this emotional reaction to it. We watched Food Network, HGTV, Cooking channel, Travel channel, and DIY mostly. I’m going to miss them in general, but many of the shows I watched are available on YouTube, and other sources. I’m going into it in my post next Monday.

My parents had DirecTV for years, so I’m quite familiar with it. We’ll see how this all goes, but so far so good!

My wife and I have considered the same thing but for us the hard part was losing the discount we received for bundling with the internet. We also use Directv which we absolutely love. With TiVo we don’t have to watch the shows right as they happen and then when all the kids are in bed we can not “waste” as much time when we can fast forward through commercials. And as I get older it is funny but the two channels we watch the most are Food Network and HGTV. And for us when our kids got older it was easier for us to get things done around the house when we could put on a show for them to watch. But if you ever decide to come back I would totally recommend Directv and we could refer you which would save you even more money as a first time customer. Can’t wait to get some updates.
