I cut the cord! (cable / dish)

Well, lately I've been finding the hundreds of channels and the constant Trump talk on 24-hour news depressing. Most of my favorite TV shows are no longer around, and if they are, I can get them on Netflix or Amazon.

I finally worked up the nerve to call DirecTV and cancel my service.

I'm looking forward to the silence. I'm going to use the saved money to buy a second laptop - a 2-in-1 that I can use to hook up to my TV or draw on (I like to design things using graphics programs).

Have you stopped using cable or dish? Did you replace it with something such as Sling (I have no plans to do so - I have an HDTV antenna so that I can watch local news)?

Looking forward to this new zen chapter in my life. I spend much more time listening to music lately as I'm working, and the TV has just become a depressing distraction.
