No signal to no noise

Due to the economic pressures of my very extreme rare china dolls collection (re: owning a business and being a participant in a house-buying plan) I'm fluxing about my entertainment future, specically:

Do I drop all of cable? Do I keep basic cable? Do I get a satellite dish and tune into free channels? Drop everything and get NetFlix again? Find stuff online?

... sadly, some of these options kill my head-clearing Halo 2. Well, it's sad that I'm bullet-training to 30 playing Halo 2, but still.
