It's mainly tv shows and a lot of what we watch is on there like white collar. Project runway, once upon a time, etc. Most of them are delayed though from when it actually airs, so you have to be careful of spoilers. But overall, I like it and it is worth the $10/month. We actually had netflix and cancelled it because we watched all the stuff on there that we cared about seeing and there wasn't enough new stuff for us to keep with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829272 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:17:48 +0000 Smurfette 829272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Comcast, and pay $100 a month. We just moved in Feb, so getting a lower rate still. Internet, cable, one DVR, two receivers for bedrooms, and HD upgrade </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829259 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:15:04 +0000 swurlygurl 829259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had cable - we watch anything we want online.</p> <p>Just $20 for internet</p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Our city just approved Google Fiber - I'm sooooo excited!

The Internet alone is $45. </p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: can you explain Hulu+ to me? Is it like Netflix? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829247 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:11:29 +0000 MediaNaranja 829247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first year our cable/internet was $39/month. The second year it went up to about $65/month. This includes all local and basic cable channels. Except they either messed up or basic cable has WAY more channels than I thought because we have like 150+ channels. We don't have a dvr or anything. We have comcast. The only other option in our area is uverse, whose most basic package was at least 3x as expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829244 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:10:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 829244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$150 Direct TV, we are in the 2bd year of our 2 year service agreement. We have their most comprehensive package including the sports package. Internet is through a different provider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829221 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:03:58 +0000 IRunForFun 829221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ditched cable when we moved but we were paying $64/month for digital cable with one DVR (no premium channels.) That was JUST cable, no internet included in the cost. </p> <p>Now we are just paying for wireless internet, medium tier (a step above basic but not the super fast package) and is $45 per month for that. To get basic cable (25 channels, I think) they quoted us $12.99 per month on top of the $45 we're paying for internet. We declined. Without cable we get the major networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc) and somehow we get TBS and TV Land too. </p> <p>We had Time Warner for cable, btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829209 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:01:47 +0000 loveisstrange 829209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't! We've been "unplugged" for about 2 years and it's worked out just fine. :) We just watch the shows we want to see online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829201 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:00:51 +0000 avivoca 829201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too much. I think our last bill was $116 for basic internet and the second tier cable package. The only reason we went with the second tier is because one channel we like wasn't available on basic. I'm going to try to convince my husband to switch to basic cable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829197 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:00:18 +0000 lavender 829197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$100 for our cable, phone, and internet (fios) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829193 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:59:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 829193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to pay $185 for cable and internet (HBO, 2 DVR boxes), and when we moved we switched companies so we're on a special reduced fee for a year that's like $150/month for cable and internet (1 DVR box, HD, HBO but not the other premium channels). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829190 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:58:42 +0000 ladyfingers 829190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$130 for FIOS -- Internet and the second highest cable package with some movie channels and DVR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829183 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:57:38 +0000 plantains 829183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay 133 per month for dvr, hd, high speed, hbo and cinemax blah blah blah. I feel liek it is too much, I would love to get it under $100 but I am not giving up cable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829167 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:53:47 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 829167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dropped cable 2 years ago now? Maybe it's only been a year, can't remember. But we pay for Hulu+ and we got an Amazon Prime membership. Although, Amazon is more for free shipping than tv, but we do use it occasionally. I think we still pay $30-40 for internet. Can't wait for Google Fiber to come to our city next year! If it comes to our neighborhood, we are probably getting it. Yay for super fast internet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829163 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:52:31 +0000 prettylizy 829163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have digital cable w/ 2 regular boxes and a pvr, as well as high speed and pay like $150/month but I'm really happy with our service </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829118 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:41:48 +0000 Turd Ferguson 829118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, we're in the process of ditching cable, actually. I thiiiink we're between $150 and $180 right now... Paying for internet (not the super-mega-fast kind, but fast enough), cable, HD stuff, DVR...I think that's it. With DH traveling as often as he does, and then usually heading up north for the weekends, it seems super stupid to pay that much so I can watch an episode of The Real World (awful, I know) or Real Housewives from time to time...</p> <p>Anyway, we're hopefully dropping the boxes off soon and just paying for internet (and we get all the local channels and stuff for free). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829067 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:28:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 829067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched back to FIOS (our house was already wired for it) from Comcast -- and for Internet, Digital cable (NO DVR), and land line we pay $95 including taxes.</p> <p>We generally switch every couple of years between comcast &amp; fios to get the best deal. It's a pain, but it's worth it when they have multi-year promotional deals!</p> <p>oh - we have 2 cable boxes too --- cutting out DVR definitely helped cut cost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cable-how-much-do-you-pay#post-829050 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:23:46 +0000 photojane 829050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we have cable, and I'm not incredibly happy with it. We're paying $71/month for medium tier internet and the very basic cable package, which only comes with locals + 5 channels (E!, Food Network, TBS, Animal Planet, and AMC). </p> <p>I feel like we're overpaying. What do you pay for your internet + cable package? </p>
