Save Money, Cut Cable or Dish

To Dish, or not to Dish, that is the question.  At least it was for us a few months ago.  We don't watch programmed TV very much and we were already at the cheapest (family) plan that Dish Network had.  The total was about $31/month.  Cheap right?  Well, not cheap enough for me.  I had heard about digital antennas but I thought it would be a hassle.  When we finally ended dish, we headed out to Sears to get a box.  It was around $30 and my husband said it was really easy to install.  Now, we get almost all the same channels, some in HD (which Dish said I couldn't get with my cheapo plan), and it costs a whopping $0/month.  Yay!  If you are having this same debate, do it!  Cut it!  You'll be glad you did when your wallet is a little fatter each month.  We do, however, love our Netflix and can't live without it at this point.  So, for $8/month plan, we all (parents and kids) are happy.  We also tried Hulu plus for a free month but decided we couldn't deal with commercials anymore, so we cancelled.  Have you made the big TV cut?  If not, how are you making TV watching economical?
