Who Needs Cable?

At first it may sound like a huge sacrifice, but one way to save a huge chunk of money every month is to cancel your cable tv. Wait! Before you say, "No way!" - hear me out.

First, in this electronic age, MANY of your favorite shows are available over the internet for FREE and with fewer commercial interruptions. Just go to the channel's websites. You may be suprised at what you can view at no charge.

Second, Digital TV (mandatory in February, 2009) offers more channels captured free out of the air than what is currently available through analogue. The picture and sound quality is equal to cable. If you do not own a digital TV you will need to buy a converter box ($40-$70) but the federal government will supply each US household up to two coupons, worth $40 each, toward the purchase of converter boxes.
