We don't have cable or anything. Just public access TV. It's much simpler and obviously cheaper since it's free lol.
I would suggest getting rid of your satellite and downloading Kodi. It's a great program that you can use to get movies and TV shows from the web, but in an organized fashion without having to scour the web. A good addon for it is Genesis / spectofork. It's a little bit of a pain to do, but it's worth it in the end. You can watch tons of HD movies and shows up to a couple months back for free (As ling as you have semi decent internet.)
