I'm in a different zone than you all, but I most definitely understand your angst. Where I live, my choices are $2800/year for DISH, local "cable" that doesn't have a lot of useful channels, but there are a hundred or so throwaways, or the choice we are currently using:
IP TV box that gets almost everything, but there is no overall guide, plus, it buffers freqiemtly, but it's cheap. AND Da Da duuuuum, $16 per month NetFlix. I don't get any ads. I think that would finish it for me. So far, I am entertained. I can get my sports and network garbage on the IP, and movies and a few interesting series on NetFlix. I can't stand U.S. "NEWS" stations. The political crap is overwhelming, and who hasn't already made up their minds? So, I watch BBC, which, for the most part is like an unsmiling person accompanied by a ASL person telling me what was blown up yesterday, with a side order of UK weather, sports and a smaller dash of UK politics. PERfect.
