Cutting the Cord

There are hardly any scheduled recordings on my DVR - such is the scarcity of decent cable TV over summer.  So I can concentrate on watching all the various films/programs/documentaries I have recorded over the last 6 months or so that I haven't got to yet (and there are a lot).  But as soon as my DVR is down to 0%, then I need to make some choices.  I'd like to cut the cord, but I don't know if that will actually save me money.  What I'm thinking I'd rather do is get a very basic TV package - and then pay for a couple of streaming packages on top of that.  I think that will cover all the bases - I might have to drop a few of my favo(u)rite channels, but I can live with that.  Ultimately, I suspect I will still end up paying way too much for my internet and TV.  Such are the joys of dealing with a monopoly.
