I have lived without cable for 5 years and though I disliked it at first, I don't mind it at all now. I was a CNN addict. Now for news, I listen to the radio and check foxnews.com several times a day. As far as TV shows go, you can keep up with them by going online to various sites, though my guess is that pretty soon you will find other things that are more important to you than keeping up with them. Many TV programs have entire seasons available on DVD.

Discontinuing cable or satellite has so many benefits for a person and their family. You would be amazed at the time it frees up in your life and what can be accomplished in that time, such as a room you've always wanted to remodel, or a class you've wanted to take. TV time can be replaced with valuable family time. Not only will it free up time, but it will remove an influence from your home that you have no control over.

If in doubt, try it for a few months and prove that you can live without it!
