Yes, but you can add or subtract channels and packages, depending on what you want to pay. I also have Netflix--the wifi feed which you can watch on television. Several years ago we bought a 60 " television, great for watching movies and sports. And we have the dish "hopper", so we can watch and record multiple programs at once...

HBO, ABC, and CBS

I live w/o cable in my house.. I ain't missing anything

Yes, too many for sure. I watch everything on the internet now. Youtube, Hulu, netfix

Not only could I live without cable. I do. Don't have satellite TV either. Just and outside antenna. I think I need to replace my digital converter as my TV keeps cutting out from time to time. When that happens I watch a DVD, or turn it off and just read.

Not sure, I very rarely turn on the devil box.

Lived on a sailboat and didn't have TV at all for almost 15 years. Didn't miss it. If I had to choose three channels, then Discovery, The Food Network and Turner Classic Movies.

Have they created a law and order channel by now?

I only watch about 3-5 channels as it is right now...science, history, nat geo, discovery,IFC

Life was like that before the cable in the 80s and the three choices were ABC CBS and NBC

History, Discovery and TSN sports.
