Dumped cable TV about 3 years ago. Just kept the internet service and have no land line. Got 2 Smart LG 4k TVs for Netflix and Prime, hard-wired to my router. You can run a long ethernet cable through walls and under floors without degradation to the signal. Got one of those HD antennas for each TV picks up about 25 over air channels for local news, etc. and PBS, ETV. Got no cable boxes, own my modem and router. Use Sling during college football season only for my Tigers, then cancel it (Sling even encourages such with a question on their site, something like “ Favorite team season over? No problem”. In the past when I had TV I had one experienced installer do something incorrect and next installer came out to correct it and pointed it out. Company sent me wrong box for services I was getting, bill kept going up over time for TV, it was all a real mess. I will never go back to cable TV programming.
