We don't.
We used to, but once our LO turned one we realized we just didn't have time for TV anymore and all the money we were spending on cable was getting wasted (Comcast friggin' robs you!).
We just stream Amazon Prime.

We have DirecTV. I don't think we'll ever get rid of it.

We had premium cable, and downgraded to basic. I'm itching to just eliminate it entirely, but it's football season.

@deerylou: how many channels do you get with basic?
Seriously, it felt sooooo good to cancel! Love having that extra $100/month.

We used to have Netflix and Hulu, but got rid of that after we had LO because we didn't really use it. Now we download movies and shows and occasionally watch stuff (usually an episode or so after LO is asleep at night). I really don't miss it, oddly.

Hubs likes to watch sports so we still have cable. Would love to cancel it though... Less time watching sports and it costs less too?! Sign me up

Yes, but we just have the basic package. We still get Indemand, but nothing too fancy. We still get about 80 channels, which is way more than enough.

Nope. We can't stand the commercials on regular/cable tv anymore so we bypass them with Netflix mainly & hulu since they're for the most part pretty clean (there have been a couple trojan commercials we could've gone without but that's it).

We nixed cable before LO was born. It wasn't worth the cost in our opinion.
We have Netflix and Amazon Prime.

We don't have cable and I don't miss it. With a baby I don't have time to watch tv.

No tv. We do have a projector though and stream movies that way.

Yes, but we have a basic cable package. We need to have at least a basic package to get internet.

FIOS. We watch sports year round and subscribe to premium channels. I prefer cable rather than internet streaming. We skip commercials with the DVR.

We have cable. DH works for a news station so we only pay for the boxes each month!

@deerylou: that's why we can't cancel either because of Sports. I would love to get rid of it!

We have satellite. Hockey, football, tennis, cartoons and trash tv are all part of our life!

We've been doing the Netflix + streaming thing for years. If there is a show that we are dying to see we'll just spring for it on iTunes. Also, a friend hooked us up with their hbo go password! The only thing that's missing from my tv life without cable is showtime.

I want to get rid of it and save the money so badly. Darn DH and his football

DH loves sports .. so there is no way we could go without TV/Cable. We normally watch any "shows" on Netflix. We are on season 3 of Breaking Bad! (no spoilers!!)

We don't have children yet, but we have cable. I am a tv junkie. I could never get rid of cable. I do wish it was cheaper, though..our cable/internet bill is $195 every month

Yes we have premium channels cable package plus Netflix, Hulu and Vudu.

We have DirecTV and so far its great. I *hate* Time Warner cable, and Comcast were always very sweet to deal with but completely incompetent service.
We have (and have had for years) premium cable: HBO, DVR on demand, etc. etc. There are too many good shows to get rid of cable! We rarely watch anything live, so we just scoot right through all the commercials, which I love.
I wish we could buy channels al la carte - we must have 75 sports channels and watch 0 sports.
