I've never paid a single dish or cable bill since I moved to the US 8 years ago. First I exclusively was watching DVDs. I was happy with that, watching movies and TV shows by the season, and getting news and magazines exclusively on the internet. Then I got married and the Beijing Olympics came, and my wife demanded to be able to watch them live. I spent $20 on a pair of amplified rabbit ears, hit SCAN on my HDTV and was amazed at all that I got, including a crisp and clear high definition NBC, which is everything that was needed at the time. Since then, the rabbit ears are still connected, we occasionaly watch the local news (in HD) and for the first time I followed a TV show while it was broadcast (Lost season 5 on ABC).
Obviously there's absolutely nothing in the world that would make me start paying a monthly fee for TV programming.
