Before we moved to the condo, where we have to have cable, we had a digital antenna for HD and Apple TV. The Apple TV was complicated for me to use. I mostly watch network news, anyway, and a couple of shows, so I didn't care. We did have cable internet and phone.
Now that we have cable, I am enjoying having it, watching more HGTV and a John Oliver, Bill Mahr when the shows actually air. I could live without it, though. No DVR. We had one 2 houses ago and it never got used. We just don't watch much TV and go to bed early!

We dumped out cable when we sold our house in 2013, we've been saving intensely for retirement so we never got any streaming stuff. We use a Mohu Leaf to get over the air channels and it works fine unless it's storming or windy. What we've found is once you adjust to life without tons of media you end up reading more or watching DVD's.
Our condo in FL comes with cable as part of our fees, but I find it almost overwhelming, there are so many channels, and we end up with 3-4 different remotes to juggle. It just makes me anxious, although I do love TCM.
