Cant you get TV OTA?  I dont find cable/dish worth the money when most stuff
i watch is on the networks.  If you use a digital tuner you can get a
perfect picture quality.  If you are within 50 miles from the tower you can
get a good signal strength with a 100 or less antenna.

Just an idea for you.
