i sort of have the rep as the family curmudgeon

for xmas my boys ganged up and bought me a flat screen

and so it was time to finally redo what i did for tv.
1....have been renting my modem for years now...got a refurb upgrade for 30 bucks
2....got rid of dta things from the cable company for the tvs...renting those too....
3...dumped the tv portion of my cable bill.....the package i had was the super basic

all told time warner has gone from 110 to 45

4....sling at 30 bucks--got the 1 step up package...they have a promo with a free roku currently
5....another 30 bucks for a somewhat better than minimum indoor antennae Live close enuf to a urban area
where i get pretty much all the channels from the basic cable....

in summary some 30 less per month for a whole lot more channels
what is not to like
