I've been gradually moving towards this outcome for a while, and I think it's finally time to just do it. I'm canceling my TV service. I'll be keeping the internet, but my TV service has been nothing but a moneysuck on me for too long now.
I can get internet for 40.00/mo (Time Warner. AT&T is too damn expensive for
just DSL) instead of getting internet + TV for about 120.00 (yes, HD service too). I'm sure this isn't really news to all of you, considering this is being broadcast via the internet, but TV is just one of those things that's really kind of hard to get rid of. Actually doing it isn't hard, but even starting the thought process of "I can watch everything online" probably isn't something that the average person A: considers, and B: actually follows through with.
Also, I'm saying this because I'm currently a blogger over at #
hangintherebaby, posting weekly about Mythbusters. I know you can watch the episodes online, however there may be an extended delay in my ability to be timely with the posts due to my soon-to-be lack of cable TV service.
Regardless, I think that all should be well, and saving 80.00/mo isn't so bad either (it's the best part really).
All I've got to do is get a way to hook up my computer to my TV and I'll be set.
So, question how many of you get all of your entertainment online? Are there any awesome places I should be aware of (other than Netflix / Hulu / YouTube)? Yes, I'm aware the answer to the second question is most likely "yes".
