I cut the cord because the programming style is for an older generation, why get 50 channels of pre-programmed shows broken into year long series and chopped into five minute chunks with overly intrusive advertising between them?
Cable and OTA are only watchable if you have a decent DVR.
My kids are so used to the ability to pause the TV (even when watching live), or the ability to record shows when ever they want, I don't think they could handle real live TV
