Google each of the channels, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc and see if they have the content you are looking for. If there is a particular series you want that they dont provide, there are other ways of getting it without DTV. Outdoor antenna for local sports, Internet for national televised games on the channels you don't get. There isn't any reason to pay for satellite or cable TV unless you or someone else in your house can't live without certain channels like food, Disney, outdoor, Espn for sports center only etc. I don't regret cutting it and I save $500-$1000 per year.
