Cutting cable

Time Warner gave me a $61 discount that allowed me to keep my cable boxes. Nevertheless, I haven't hooked the cable boxes back up. I want to see what life would be like without cable boxes, and without any channels above 100. So far the only thing we have missed is the clock on the front of the cable box. We became conditioned to look at the cable boxes to see what time it was - and now that is gone! Other than a clock, we haven't missed the cable boxes.

The discount bought me some time while I continue to replace our telephone service with Ooma and investigate satellite TV.
