At home, we completely ditched cable and converted over to Roku (Netflix, Amazon Prime) recently, saving about $80 a month. You lose the local channels, but you can get them with an antenna if they are important to you. Roku has some "hidden" live channels including CNN, CNN International (better than regular CNN), MSNBC, CNBC etc for news.

The interesting thing is that we are now back on cable. After two weeks of not being a Comcast customer, they called us up and offered us full basic cable + HBO + business internet for $5 a month for 1 year. I havn't bothered to hook it up yet though because we don't miss cable at all.

We just got a Roku box at the lake house too. It works great over Fairpoint 3MBit DSL for those that are wondering...
