We cut the cable - and every time I turn on the TV set I smile - broadcast is free, and it's in HD. Great if you can get it.
We get ABC, CBS, NBC, and CW for watching news and weather and Parks and Recreation and the Big Bang Theory. We don't have time to watch 110 channels - don't need their stupid box on top of the TV set either. So, we've got the Hulu + and the Netflix streaming - now we can watch TV shows and movies as much as we want to, when we want to. Hulu + also has the Criterion collection. http://www.criterion.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Criterion_Collection So, I figured we paid Time-Warner thousands over the course of ten years! Our TV and video watching expenses went from $90 a month to $16 a month. Now that's better!
