Cutting The Cord

I did it. I finally cut the cord. It was an extremely hard decision for me, I am so attached to the concept of cable, everything is all in one connection, one bill, one set of equipment, and everything I need and want on all devices, nothing hard, no playing with antenna's...That being said I realized that I really only watch a handful of shows and I am paying for a couple of hundred - cable is too expensive! 

Even though I did it already, I am frustrated. I only have 1 TV that is digital, and it's not a smart TV, and the other 2 are analogue. Also, I am trying the antenna route to get the local cable channels and I can’t seem to get a good reception on two of them CBS, and ABC, the two channels that I actually watch shows on! I have moved the antenna all over the room to no avail. I was told that something was blocking my way, really?!?!?! I guess I will have to buy a more expensive antenna and try that out - UGHS!

Even though I am frustrated right now I know in the long run that this will be the best thing for me. Eventually I am going to buy a smart TV and my own modem/router for the internet. Next month I am hoping to order SlingTV for $25.00 a month. Setting all this up is an expensive proposition, cheaper in the long run, but i'm hemorrhaging money that I don't have. Who needs to eat anyway? *Sigh*
