6 Rules of Cable Coexistence

Sharing a cable subscription with family and roommates can be challenging. These simple rules of cable coexistence can help keep everyone happy -- or, at the very least, they can help keep the peace!

1. Live Events Get Priority Viewing

Spoilers are everywhere in the internet age, so watching live events like sports games, series premieres, and award shows should take priority. If there's a debate over who gets to watch now and who has to use the DVR, the person watching a live event always wins!

2. Practice Responsible Deletion

DVR storage fills up quickly, and deleting someone else’s unwatched show can lead to frustration. Follow these two rules:

  • If you finish watching a show, delete it from the DVR.
  • If you must delete an unwatched show to record something new, delete something you recorded.

3. Guide Flipping is Totally Lame

No one wants to watch someone endlessly flip through the TV guide. If you’re unsure what to watch, defer to someone who knows.

4. Multi-Room Viewing is Your Friend

A good cable setup should allow for multi-room viewing. This means you can watch different shows in different rooms, reducing conflicts over what to watch. This feature is a significant advantage of cable over streaming services.

5. Help Kids Have a Good Cable Experience

Choose a cable company that offers parental controls and be an active, present parent to ensure kids watch appropriate content. Educational and positive programming is abundant; make the most of it.

6. Watch Together!

Sharing a television event can be a wonderful opportunity to bond. Make the time and prioritize watching together as a family.
