Been four years without it. Don't miss it at all. I know from watching my friends and parents regular TV that I never could go back. Shaw actually gave us free basic with a discounted faster internet connection for six months. Haven't been on the cable for more than a few minutes just to see which channels they gave us. I can read pretty fast and can't stand the pace of regular news broadcasts. A story I'm really interested in will see me reading ten or twenty articles from as many viewpoints as I can find. Pretty hard to do that with TV.
Think about a series you are really in to. Now imagine watching as many episodes back to back, pausing them, only at times most convenient for yourself. Anything else is truly barbaric.
That said, I hardly watch any sports at all. To me its like watching porn, I'd rather be doing it. Had no trouble streaming the winter Olympic sports that I like.
