I needed to cancel it at two places, my home (we've cut that cord) and my in-law's house which I was paying for as well to help them out (I've cut their cord). We now get the same channels (at least those we watch) for less than 1/3rd the price of Dish.
Cutting the cord is awesome. We haven't missed it one bit, and love saving the $110/month. Get ready for "please come back, have we got a deal for you!" letters and calls for the next couple years.

ChannelMaster Long Range Antenna installed in my attic. It was installed to pick up old analog signals and HDTV signals when HDTV was a new thing and cable/satellite didn't carry the signal. It has been in disuse since about 2008 but is now getting a work out.

Same here. I use Xfinity for Internet, and the second location is AT&T. The second location was grandfathered in by AT&T to get rid of DSL service, so my mother-in-law has bidirectional 1gig service for $50 per month!
