No. We pay for Hulu + Netflix though :). Cable is pricey.

We have Netflix too but I think it's for a limited time. It's free with our wi-fi

My brother-in-law have a cable installed on the TV at the dining room where father-in-law sits the whole day. It is actually a loadable cable. When the load you paid is consumed for a month, you have the option to have it again or not. It's only for 500 pesos or $10.
But at our bedroom, I didn't had it with an extension. That way,I can watch my teleserye or soaps at night when I come home from work.

@averygirl72 No, I don't like to, because my hubby would be competing with me for the remote. At least, he watches the soaps with no complaint because he has no choice when he is trying to catch some sleep already.

So it's quite affordable. You mean you don't have cable in your bedroom?

Yes, we have cable. For three of four rooms. But even if we didn't pay for cable - we'd still have cable because we get basic cable thru our rent which is about 25 channels.

@averygirl72 yes. Cable here isn't that exspensive.. depends on what package you get. We get hundreds of channels both regular and HD, and the hbo movie channels, for only $60ish a month. Get every channel we need.

Here we have none of that as we are in an area that does not work with any of those mentioned.
So its the old fashioned Channels and you get to see what you get to see.
Most time I am not even watching the Television.
It has to be a very good film for me to watch it.

There are movies in the internet. So you don't have access to them

Satellite here too! Chosen the cheapest package, I really don't want to spend that much on TV as I currently watch most of the shows I'm interested to see on my laptop and it's quite enough for me.
My family does this as well so the Satellite works just fine for us.. ;)

Right now we do not have Cable TV which is right for us. We have a Dragon Box where we can keep up with movies, etc. with and that works for us.

No, we just use an antenna. It works and we get some shows we like. We can't afford cable or internet, I just use my phone to be here.

We have cable and its just the basic package and we pay about $100.00 a month for it. Its cheaper to just keep the internet and Netflix than it is cable which is nice to have but really not worth so much money. We aren't sure but we might actually wait until our contract is up and then just disconnect it we honestly don't even watch enough television to justify paying so much money.
