the sweet life » Biting the Bullet
Well, after much debate, and with great apprehension, we decided to go ahead and pull the plug on our cable package. We're going from digital cable (hundreds of channels), plus HBO, plus a DVR (TiVo) to local channels only. As one of those people who was raised on cable and still has a strong connection to many current cable series (Sopranos season 7!) this will be a big shock to the system. I'm looking forward to it, however. My two requirements? We had to wait until this season of The Wire ended, and we had to sign up for a basic subscription to Netflix.
Update: Just in case any of you are interested, I plan on exploring some of the alternatives to cable recommended by floppyhead.com. In addition to Netflix, iTunes might be a good solution for any "must see" shows I miss. I already figured out that if I miss Lost I can view each episode online for free at the ABC site the day after each show airs.
welcome to the dark side!!! ha ha I'll have to look into the options you listed above.. I guess I'm lucky that I never had the chance to get addicted to any shows! :)
We cancelled out Comcast and got direct tv. We technically still have all our cable show, we just pay a lot less! (and we have all our local stations too). I might be willing to cancel our service and save $50 a month, but i don't think Andy would go for it!
This is huge for us. I think we only lasted 24 hrs. last time we tried this, and I hope Cooper adjusts to no Noddy and BooBah on demand. I don't think I'll miss much . . . as long as I can get in bed and watch ER every Thursday (my hidden obsession).
Are you forgetting about your other hidden obsessions? What About Brian, Grey's Anatomy?
