24. "HELP: I just canceled cable. Now what? "
In response to In response to 0


  

          

So long cable! Cut my bill by more than half switching to Comcast internet only effective September 1.

I have wifi, and am totally fine with the speed.

I have an XBox 360 and am already subscribed to Netflix, HBO Now, Amazon Prime, and WWE Network. So there's no shortage of content outlets for me and I didn't watch a ton of TV to begin with (save for Nationals baseball which is the one show I'll miss badly)

I understand I need an HD antenna so I can watch the Skins - what do you recommend? And are there any other bells and whistles you would recommend buying also to enhance the experience? I would also prefer to get my own modem too as I'm still renting Comcast's - any recommendation here that delivers great value and still doesn't sacrifice speed?

Really any kind of advice anyone can lend would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
