I'm one of the cord cutters. I have Comcast internet and nothing else. I have an apple tv, Netflix, and an antenna with a tivo that gets me network television for free. I'll admit that the antenna is a hassle mostly because the NBC signal is terrible in the Bay Area, but when I don't need to watch NBC this setup is awesome. I'm hoping Aereo comes soon so I can ditch the antenna + tivo for a more stable broadcast to even further streamline my setup. I've had no urge to use torrents as this setup gives me much more content than I can consume.
My main reason for cutting the cord is to save money, and it has saved me quite a deal of money over 3 years.
