Introduction
In 2012 I set a goal to trim the fat in my life. I've done this literally (lost 27 pounds since October) and figuratively by way of my gadgets and services. I was simply paying way more for my lifestyle than my cash flow could afford, and racking up credit card debt because of it.So far, I've sold off several gadgets I no longer use and reduced or eliminated a lot of services I could live without. The most recent luxury to get the axe was my satellite TV service. I'm not going to rant about DirecTV in this post. Suffice to say that although I had no issues with their service, I found it hard to justify the price I was paying every month with the infrequent use I got out of it.
Once I pulled the plug on DirecTV I decided it would be good to have something for those rare occasions I needed background noise or wanted to watch a live show. Enter the wonderful world of old-school free TV.
