You can easily get rid of your cable company and satellite dish if you are willing to make some changes in your viewing habits. Just get a simple internet connection and use a streaming box (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, etc) to get loads of programming. Get a Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription and access all kinds of movies and network shows. Not "live", but very current and often available the next day. An antenna installed in your attic will get all the major networks for free (ABC, CBS, PBS, etc) with better picture quality than cable can provide. If absolulely must have live cable-only channels (I bet you can do without them), you will be stuck paying for their overpriced "packages".
