I'm the OP on this and it's now been over four years since we bailed on satellite TV. We don't miss it. Our over the air "rabbit ears" TV originally got us 17 or 19 channels but now is pushing 40 channels.
Sure, some are old reruns but they are good reruns like Highway Patrol, Dragnet and all the westerns. Wife seems happy with whatever she gets. Best of all, we have saved around $6,300 not having satellite TV. Prob more since rates have gone up.
Also on the plus side, we have way more time to do the things we want and my bucket list and personal chore list is nearly empty, save for a couple things I'll never do. We have more free time and have taken to sitting on the porch and watching the dogs play. It's hard to beat that.
With the cash saved, I did buy two implements I thought I would never get to own. One is a stump grinder that has fast become a favorite and saved me loads of time and effort.
