We had our cable turned off at the end of June. D and I were happy. The kids? Not so much. We were tired of paying for junk that we refused to watch.
We lived, very nicely, without tv for about 3 weeks. We do have lots of dvds, so we did watch those.
Ah, then our new Glorystar Satellite arrived, and D got it installed.
We are so happy with it! There are over 50 Christian channels. A good portion of those are in foreign languages, though. We have 12 channels that we watch regularly. From Daystar & TBN, to Smile of a Child for the little kids and JCTV for the teens.
You may think 12 channels aren’t very many. Count how many channels you actually watch and how much you’re paying for them. I read news online, check the radar online, and can watch the local news online. I can even carry on a current events conversation with people, and I usually know everything that know about it. Yes, the kids have even watched programs from the mouse channel a few times. They rarely watch anymore, they have plenty of programming on the satellite that they like and we don’t have to worry about what they are watching!
When we had cable, most of the time, there wasn’t anything on worth watching. Now? We can always find something worth watching.
And get this! There are NO monthly bills! You buy the satellite and box. Then the programming is FREE!
No, I am not an affliate. I get NOTHING from them. We are happy with ourGlorystar Satellite, and I wanted to share.
So if your looking for quality Christian programming visit Glorystar Satellite and check out the channels they offer.

Glad to know about the Christian Satellite company.
A year ago this month we gave up broadcast tv (we didn't have cable). My husband had been asking me for years to do it and I just didn't want to. But the election coverage got to me and there was no way to avoid the coverage during commercials. Our television is not a new one and we didn't get the box.
We get our news online and on the radio. We the television for movies,and the internet has a lot of free programs available.
We've considered Christian satellite before, maybe we'll do that.
It's been a peaceful year and I've read a lot of books.
