I had to spend $40 on a digital converter box a few years back, but i love that i don't owe anyone money. I also have an android cell phone for my internet. There's an app 'pdanet' that for a one-time pmt of $17 you can hook up your phone to your computer and it'll be your internet forever. Verizon charges up the wazoo for data usage if you use your phone for this using your standard phone package plan. Totally NOT worth it to give Verizon more money than absolutely necessary...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087825737552085400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538703535535682538.post-40946010366933494572012-03-02T17:08:37.925-08:002012-03-02T17:08:37.925-08:00That's one way to save money!

Especially with little ones, it must also be nice having limited channels that you can keep tabs on easily.Jennie and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468462118939431695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538703535535682538.post-45308816157083830462012-03-02T14:59:05.809-08:002012-03-02T14:59:05.809-08:00We havent had cable TV since we moved into our hou...We havent had cable TV since we moved into our house 4 years ago. It started out by neccesity, 32K income for a 4 person family does not leave room for paid TV. We invested 250 for a big roof top antenna, a cable, and a signal booster. With that we get 21 channels. Including PBS, all the major networks, Qubo (cartoons for the kids), and several others we rarely if ever watch. If you divide that initial 250 by how long we've had it we have averaged $5.21 a month for our TV service.<br /><br />Not too shabby.Schwab_emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062036593921487250noreply@blogger.com
