Your 1yr promo is over on cable TV and price went up? Here is what you can try.

Let us say you have cable TV and internet bundle with 2 DVRs and after 1yr, price went up by $30 a month.

Here are some choices.

1. Play the game and ask for promo of Cable TV, internet and phone even if you don't use the phone line. Cell phone is fine these days.

2. Look at what you are paying for the DVR rental. Perhaps  $15 a month eeach for the DVR In 1yr, you are paying $360. Buy a used Tivo with lifetime service for $230 * 2 = $460. After 1yr, if you cancel cable and get ATT Uverse or DirecTV or Dish, you can sell your Tivos for at lease $175 * 2 = $350 and you came out ahead. If you continue with cable you save even more.

3. Look at what channels you actually watch, dump cable TV and get a Roku box or some device and watch Dish network over internet. There is netflix and bunch of others too.

4. Do you know that in most cities, all you need is a simple antenna to watch network TV in high definition and record on Tivo too?

Fight back and enjoy literally...
