I think we are happier for it. ALittleP on "Do you have cable?

Before we moved in together, I didn't have it. I didn't have it growing up either though sporadically once I moved out of the house. I honestly wouldn't miss it if we didn't have it.

Both of us grew up on the poorer side so we rarely had cable growing up. We learned a trick though. We bought this antenna cable for our flat screen...it might be called hdmi but I don't know. It was $40 and it allows us to get the main channels and a few more...with no ongoing monthly cost. StbHisMrs on "Do you have cable?

Would never go back to a cableless life! Never had it growing up, parents thought it was stupid for anyone to pay for extra channels on tv. I think that's why I loved when we would go to Atlantic city for the weekend! we get to watch cable tv there! mrsjyw on "Do you have cable?

I was always jealous in elementary school when kids would talk about the cool "SNICK" shows. Mrsbells on "Do you have cable?

Now we have "premium" (?) cable - like 200+ channels and HBO. I wish we could just pay for the channels we really watch instead of having so many we'll never watch. Beyond2 on "Do you have cable?

It didn't come about til I was in junior high, and then it wasn't available in all areas. BUT, I did get to see the launch of MTV and the first video played (Video killed the Radio star). Now that is history, LOL. Boogs on "Do you have cable?

We don't watch TV at all, though--just Netflix. Growing up, we got cable when I was in elementary school. I was so excited! I vividly remember watching Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel with glee.

We weren't allowed to watch TV during the day though. We don't have cable now. We can't even pick up local channels, which sucks because we can't even get the local news :( We just have Netflix.

We got rid of it almost a year ago and just watch shows on Huluplus/Netflix or on DVD. We don't even have basic channels. Growing up we didn't have cable for most of my childhood. I didn't really care because I would watch shows at friend's houses. We most likely won't have cable when our kids are growing up! MH.Abroad on "Do you have cable?

We have the basic channels, nothing fancy. I do like having "In Demand" available so I can watch something later on if I want. Growing up we lived so far out of town that we didn't even basic channels until I was about 8 or 9. mrbee on "Do you have cable?
