I've been really close to cutting the cord. About the only thing keeping me back is live sports, particularly the Chiefs. I have DTV because of Sunday Ticket, and that's it. I can pretty much stream everything else (although I might miss a college football or basketball game here or there if I cut the cord).
Anyway, DTV and NFLST have been setting me back a ton, and I've got a kid about to start college, so we're looking to save money anywhere we can. Couple of weeks ago the wife called DTV to ask them if we had any contract obligations (such as the DVR). They asked why. She said we're thinking of dropping DTV to save money. The CSR noted we've been customers since 2000 and immediately said he would cut our monthly DTV bill AND NFLST in half for the next 12 months.
So that helps, and it gives me another year to see how the streaming TV environment shakes out, and whether I could talk myself into dropping NFTST. I just wish the NFL would decouple itself from DTV.
