Wouldn't you like to know.....  It's more that you blocked them, they will no longer actively "talk" to you. Look at their instructions, you need to unblock them.

Adios Comcast
Cutting the cord (one month in)
What we had and what we paid:
1. Comcast cable - “Digital Start + Digital Preferred” with 220 channels for $130/mo
2. HBO Now - current HBO channels for $15/mo
3. Netflix - $11/mo
What we have now and pay:
1. Hulu with Live TV - basic (no add ons) with 50+ channels for $40/mo
2. HBO Now - current HBO channels for $15/mo
3. Netflix - $11/mo
4. Two (2) new Apple TV boxes at $5/mo/each. Amortized over 3 years.
What we gave up:
1. Two local PBS channels - I know I can solve this with an OTA, but the wife’s aesthetic objection to the “unsightly” indoor antenna might be a problem. I was able to put a Mohu Leaf antenna in our basement and now we get one of the two PBS channels. We do have RMPBS Passport because of our annual donation.
2. DIY and Cooking
3. BBC America
4. TLC
5. A whole bunch of channels we don’t care about. Home Shopping Network, anyone?
How much we save each month:
1. $80/mo
What is different about our viewing habits:
1. We seem to be watching a greater variety of programming. More fiction, less “house/food porn” from Discovery.
P.S. And, we lost the electrical vampire known as the cable box.

Sounds like a good trade. Do you get the local daytime programming on the network channels (NBC, CBS, ABC)?

Correct. Local channels aren't available everywhere. You can click on "View channels in your area" and enter your zip code here to check: https://www.hulu.com/live-tv

Now I need spend the rest of the day (and perhaps most of tomorrow) on the Victoria's Secret website clicking on the scantily clad models to right the wrong that I've be done.

I don’t think it’s that unusual a deal. Direct TV Now is $35, I think for 70 channels but no local programming on the network chAnnels.

Have an attic?
My Tivo upstairs is fed from a large UHF antenna installed in the attic.

An OTA antenna in the attic works for the vast majority of folks - unless they are rural.
Specifics can be obtained at tvfool by ones address.
