My Mom has Parkinsons for 12 years, 3 failed stints and is home for months on end she has seen every movie dozens of times and most TV series many times. If she does not have a LOT of channels she has no entertainment when her pain gets the most of her movies and TV are a distraction. We of course have 2 DVRs so we can time delay and watch things anytime and skip commercials. I work lonnnnnnnnnnnng hours and want to watch the two dozen shows I watch any time late at night whatever and skip commercials. I can afford it but I make more than most people. Most people Internet is $40-$60 + another $40-$140 to have a wide range of channels for whole family. She utilizes some very obscure channels to watch a LOT of TV when bedridden in pain. And a Kindle to read because of her bad eyes large print very helpful....
When my Mom dies I may eliminate paid TV and just feed PCs into TV and use Android Blue Play player for watching everything online through my various TVs throughout the house and only need broadband too.

Doesn't seem prohibitively expensive to me. But yea cable tv is over priced i'd suggest dropping it. I think I'm only paying $57 for 100megs down and 5 Meg's up at my other house. *i* think that's worth it. But again no pay tv. I refuse, strongly refuse to pay for tv!
