    That's a bit dramatic dude, I know no one's happy about losing Mario Williams but that was like months ago. Plus, you can still watch all Texans games without cable so :confused:

    That takes some balls for people that have tons of shows they watch on a nightly basis. More power to you. When I saw this in the Texans forum I assumed you were gonna say, who needs cable for the NFL?

    i ordered an OTA antennae so I'll still get to see local TV and houston sports. i cancelled because it was taking up too much of my time and i didn't get anything out of it. countless nights of flipping channels to watch the same reruns of "reality tv". plus, i'll save good chunk of money.

    I would do it in a heartbeat if I wasn't so addicted to watching sports.

    Don't some companies offer an A La Carte menu for TV? I would only keep like 5 or 6 cable channels plus local TV.

    Cable's good, not great. Worth it to not extend or let it go and look to the future?

    If you have a local bar that is close you could always just walk/drive over to it and watch.

    Sounds nice, but you risk turning into an alcoholic.

    Hi-speed internet> $150/mo. cable.

    If you really need to watch something you can find a stream online, plus it's way cheaper.

    I've been cable free for a couple of years. I've been able to watch what I want online minus a couple of shows on TBS. Texans over the air, Rockets on League Pass Broadband, Astros...well they've sucked.
