No. We keep the basic antenna feed. We don't pay a contracted bundled price with multiple services. All we add is basic cable in September.

I too would probably do away with cable and just go internet, but I could never survive without live sports!
You can get ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC plus I get ESPN 3 which has everything espn/2 has on it. I can't live without live sports but I like ESPN 3 because it has more sports than most. Only shitty thing is when stuff is on like TBS/TNT.

How do you get ESPN 3 without having cable?

I got rid of cable a year ago. I pay $20 a month for internet, and have a handful of sites for live sports. Also plenty of stuff on other websites, hulu, discovery, history, espn3, etc.
I have an antenna for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW, ME, THIS, Local weather radar, ION, and a few more, plus a handful of spanish channels.

You don't need cable. ESPN 3 is available to anybody using it from an ISP that includes ESPN3.

for instance, my cable company, Buckeye Cable, offers ESPN 3. However, I don't need to buy cable from them, just an internet package.

I'm still not sold on how/where you watch live sports. I will concede hooking up an antenna or whatever and watching, but as far as watching live tv / live sports, I feel I still need cable.

My cable company (Massilon Cable) does not offer ESPN3 so I cannot watch it online.
