Basic cable service(Channels 2-99 plus some others) is not expensive(generally less than $20 per month), but you may not need it.

For many people, a digital aerial and a Proxee will provide all the programming you want - the major networks, web contents and premium movies through sources like Netflix.

You may need or want basic cable if you like to watch:

  • Live news and other local TV programming and digital aerial doesn't work well where you live OR

  • Content that is only available on basic cable and cannot be accessed on the web(e.g., live, streaming CNN news or ESPN sporting events).
