Sling TV, cheap and easy way to cut cable?
« on: January 06, 2015, 08:32:09 AM »
My wife is resisting cutting off cable. She likes house porn from HGTV and refuses to give it up.

With Sling TV ($20/month) along with an antenna can probably let me cut cable.

Any other ideas on getting HGTV without cable?

I'm not sure sling is really cutting cable, so much as getting a cheaper cable-type service.

But hey- if it decreases the bill, sounds pretty good.
