I found having 3-4 streaming subscriptions is still quite a bit cheaper than cable tv or satellite. Also I get to watch what I want to watch when and where. Like many others, I cut the cord 3 years ago when I was paying $100/month for just basic cable with mostly useless channels or content that didn’t interest me. Now my total cost is under $50/month for a family of 4 for streaming subscriptions.

I did the same about 18 months ago. I found shows were just piling up on my TiVo and I hardly ever watched them. I miss access to live TV now and then but I rarely want to watch sports and it's just not worth it to me to pay for that access. Of course, I could always add a live streaming service if I change my mind at some point--and I'd still probably be paying less than I did for cable TV.
