    i called my cable company to downgrade my service until i get all my ducks in a row with the box, and this silly girl told me that i could not downgrade until i had paid a past due amount, that won’t happen until next week and of course the bill will continue to go up. hello downgrade not up. i guess they want to keep billing me because they know their bill raping days are so over. thank you for this site i have sent it to everyone i know.

Glad he did…and you are a great resource…thanks!!!

  26. I was listening to a repeat of NPR Mary Gross 7 PM CST & a guy,journalist, had written a book about how to save money on all kinds of things including buying a new car. One of the last thungs he mentioned was this webb sight. So I am checking it out.

  31. I just watched ABC’s Good Morning America’s feature on how to cut your monthly bills, including utilities, cell phones, and cable. Your website singled out as a great way to slash one’s cable bill. It is definitely food for thought and I have been seriously thinking about purchasing a Roku box for months now. This just gives me extra incentive.
    Thank you!

  36. I Googled “local television broadcast without cable” after reading about the Roku XD box at Instapundit.com. I am trying to convince my wife to cut the cable, but I need to show her how redundant it is – and how expensive!!…Iam almost there!!!

  37. on the Southwest airplane reading the plane (Spirit) magazine. I am not finding some of my favorite programs but will continue to research your site cuz I am fed up with my high cable cost!
