Really want to give up my cable TV......

RE: Really want to give up my cable TV......
I think you're being a little irrational about using your credit card online.

You're thousands of times more likely to get your identity stolen at a gas station with a scanner than with a major retailer online. Just don't use your credit card at a Starbucks on public WiFi.

I haven't had cable since 2015. I have yet to miss it.

I do have a good situation set up. I share my logins with several people. My parents have a cable subscription through Bright House as part of their HOA in Florida. They use my HBO and Amazon Prime. My brother has Netflix and Hulu. I can watch almost anything I like. ESPN, NFL Network, news channels, etc.
They watch HBO and Amazon streaming. I buy the standalone Sunday Ticket for Steelers games.

Overall, costs me $15 a month for HBO, then whatever Amazon charges yearly.

If you are close enough to the local stations to get a signal, then that's even better.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
