I decided that I was going to drop cable when we moved (which is coming in two weeks) but then Directv dropped the hammer with their current offer. Sunday ticket with redzone channel and mobile app access, all receivers free (99 bucks one time for whole home dvr), credits monthly for all sorts of nonsense).
Our current cox bill is 165 a month for hd cable (no movie channels), three hd boxes, long distance cable and internet.
Cable and internet in our new location will only run 40 a month first year, 50 a month second year.
Directv is 55 a month first year, 65 second 9 months then 80 the last three. Thats still cheaper than cox and I get the ticket.
The stickler for me is NFL and once I am a year in on Dtv, i will do the annual call, complain, cancel nonsense.
I hate paying for cable, but if its cheaper and I can still have it, im sold.
