We cut the cord on February 9, 2017. I had not been without a cable or satellite service since December 1980! Before then, we had Dish Network, and we were sick of paying $105.95 a month when nothing was on that we wanted to watch. BTW, it went up $5 a month just before we disconnected.
We already had Amazon Prime (due to the shipping), and we added Hulu and Netflix. We bought a Fire TV stick when they were on sale Christmas 2015, and watched those streaming services, plus YouTube on there. We also do Over The Air TV with a homemade antenna and signal booster.
My son really wanted to watch
National Geographic's Genius show, so we prepaid for two months of Sling and got a free Roku. We really like the Roku more than the Fire TV stick. However, i'm not that fond of sling. For live TV, there's still not much on. They do have an ability to get older episodes of shows on demand, but it frequently locks up for some reason. We're planning on ditching Sling next month.
We found out that we really didn't miss Dish. Because there was rarely anything on we wanted to watch, we really didn't watch much TV. The shows we wanted to watch are available on Hulu, Netflix or OTA. We also watch a lot of videos on YouTube. I even watch my IndyCar races on YouTube, although there is a delay of a few days to a week until IndyCar uploads them.
So after six months, we still don't miss Dish. My wife and I have talked and we really don't see ever going back to a cable or satellite TV package.
