I've never paid for TV in my life. I grew up with only 2 VHF channels, so the 50+ channels I receive right now as free over-the-air DTV (including plenty of HD) is 25X more than I need.

I have a Radio Shack UHF-VHF antenna (purchased 15 years ago long before DTV) feeding a modern digital TV (as well as lots of DTV converter boxes, modulators, etc. for vintage TVs).

Very happy with this, and certainly have saved many thousands of $ over the years.

Although I'm kidding (just a little), I think all of you who pay for TV are wasting lots of money, and wasting lots of time. The stuff on TV isn't really all that good to warrant spending so much time in front of the boob tube.

One thing we got recently is a Wi-Fi enabled Blu-Ray player, which receives content from NetFlix via the internet. That's where my wife and kids go to get all the content they want. Only costs $10 per month. This is brand new to us, so I guess I need to start saying that "I never paid more than $10/month for TV." You get all the content you want, and nothing else. For example, my kids are enjoying watching old "Pink Panther" cartoons. They're great! Anyone remember those from the 1970s?
