We do have a laptop we can connect to out TV. What options for TV viewing would we have? I really don't care about local stations one way or another. NFL broadcasts would be vital though. As for phones we have cells. I think we could save over a hundred a month. We have our house phone, internet, and On Demand bundled together. It costs $200 a month or more and is stupid expensive. And at that have even dropped Showtime and just have basic cable. Options please!

You have cell phone, right? Use that as your "home phone".

There are PLENTY of places to get TV shows... Hulu Plus ($10 a month, I believe), and I don't know about sports broadcasts since I don't watch sports.

Before you cancel all together, call them up and tell them you cannot afford the 200 a month anymore. they might be able to lower your bundle cost significantly.

Good suggestion. The hardware is already in place and to them it would simple be money lost altogether.

We have ATT-Uverse and dropped our home phone and TV about a year ago. For NFL I normally find streams or head to a sports bar. This year I also paid the $40 for NFL rewind. You have to basically wait a day (can't watch something if any games are being played) but the HD stream is solid and crisp.

For TV shows, we watch them on the websites or hulu. Sometimes find torrents for the ones that aren't on the stations website.
