I got Sling TV instead, and pay less for the channels, but I still pay Cox for internet....

You are lucky to receive the OTA locals there.Not a sports fan here so I save bucks with the fat ESPN and other sports channel subscriber fees.I can do without the dishonest bias news outlets since I can get better news coverage online. Documentary shows from the History channel,Discovery channel and other channels are all on Youtube so I dont have to watch all the filler reality shows between them.

I agree with a-la-carte. Yes if they go a-la-carte .All the weak cable channels will close up shop as I read this years ago in the trade mags.I dont need the sports channels,Different language channels,Reality crap show channels,Shopping channels.
