How is the economy affecting you.

You were spending a hundred dollars a month on cable?  Is that what cable really costs now?!

CheffoJeffo:
My Sat bill is about $100 (OK, that C$100), but for that I get all channels except for the pr0n, including HD and multiple locations (so that includes as many receivers as I want at both home and cottage), so it isn't that bad.

Sad thing is that *I* watch about 4 hours of broadcast TV a week (House, BSG, 24 and Survivor), but it works well for the rest of the family.

AtomSmasher:
Back on the original topic, things had been real tight for me for the past one or two years, but a couple months ago I got a new job in a new career, which has been working out quite well.  I'm actually still working my old job part time, so in total I'm working 50-60 hours a week, but for the first time in 2 years I'm able to start paying off my credit card bills instead of slowly building them up.

yeah i was paying $100 for lots and lots of channels, so the "value" was there, but most of the stuff i watched (heroes, lost, supernatural, etc) were all on the OTA networks anyway.  the only thing i miss out on is sports.  everything else can be had online for free.  until cable offers an ala carte thing, im sticking with no cable.

I didn't realize that rental format was still around, especially since Circuit City is gone.
