Nope, haven't cut the satellite. We watch live baseball and football and it's cheaper to watch it at home than go to a bar.
If you record/DVR a lot of shows? Have you tried just going to the affiliate -like ABC or NBC.com where they have the current shows airing on-line? I don't know if it's free or not. but it might work for you...I believe you can stream it to your TV.
If you watch a lot of TV? I don't think you are ready to cut it out yet...HULU is another way to go as well.
You know - you can call DirecTV and ask if there's a way to lower your bill?? I do that about every six months...I get it down by $10 to $20 every time...not losing anything
good luck!
