We haven't had cable/satellite for more than 6 months of the last 10 years (When satellite was new they pushed it by giving trial offers, cable did this too). At the end of every free period I had to ask myself: Is this really improving the quality of my life? Would I be a happier person if I had easy access to this and was paying for it? Answer: no.
Broadcast TV: It's free, largely HD, in a dozen different languages, and there are a ton of PBS stations showing BBC stuff.
Netflix streaming: Oh so many things to watch, at exactly the time you feel like it, for about $10/month. I'm slowly working my way through 30-rock.
Internets: Things like sidereel.com are good for all those HBO/Showtime/Etc shows if you have to have it now, albeit at a lower quality.
