Another reason I cut the cord has to do with "limited, basic" cable from Comcast here in NE Florida - for about $30 or so per month I recall getting about 25-30 channels, many of which were broadcast channels and filtered through the cable box all were in standard definition (SD), whereas even a simple indoor antenna (with an antenna amplifier) in this condo gets 25 broadcast channels, about 8 of which are HD. For several years I had HD service with several hundred channels, about 30 of them duplicates in both SD and HD. All the rest were in HD. The fees kept rising and I work so much I really don't take time for dedicated TV watching. I didn't pay ANY attention to sports for about 10 years working as a scientist and didn't even know the 9 team ACC that I knew as a graduate student had expanded to 15 teams! Looking up information on the computer or reading books is more interesting to me these days. The only good from my cord cutting is I am not supporting the SEC network which is on cable here - the BTN is not. Again, I hope there is an ACC network so the ACC schools can "keep up with the Joneses" but from what I have read in the last 6 months do expect there will be a marked increase in per team payouts from the CFB replacing the BCS. I'm estimating the [I]increase[/I] to be in the 6 to 10 million $ range even without a dedicated TV channel.
