There used to be another option-a cable card. TVs made in the mid to late 2000s had that option. It was a card that fit into a slot to be used instead of a box. Downside? It was one way, no VOD. Cable companies hated them. When I had comcast, I asked them to use a cable card. They (sort of) tried twice, but couldn't get them to work. I gave up. I don't know if TVs even come with that option any more.
Now I use an antenna in my attic.
