We cut the cord in 2008-- tired of paying for linear programming which consisted of 33% ads.

We switched to Netflix soon thereafter, but now even Netflix isn't delivering the type of programming I like. I prefer good quality documentaries and non-fiction programming. I'm especially fond of BBC and PBS programs stuck up on Youtube (probably without the content owner's consent). If it wasn't for my wife who likes a lot of the fiction programming on Netflix, I'd cancel it and use Youtube exclusively.
