Well think about this.

No cable = ~$80 savings
No more rentals at a brick and mortar store each month = ~$13 a month savings
Add in the fact that they are going to be showing more commercials on cable that a dvr can't control
No commercials=More time

So ~70-100bucks savings for each month for your TV and movie fix

Take that and queue up a bunch of movies and TV series on your Netflix account
Spend $30bucks a month for 5 at a time and you cut all the sh1t out of satellite and cable tv
I actually did this. No cable at my house. Of course I am still waiting to watch season 3 of Battlestar, but I have been filling up my time with Firefly and Stargate.

Nope. I just bought the 14.99 plan at the vid store and can rent 3 movies at a time as often as I like. Much easier than netflix
The selection at Netflix totally blows any local video store away. Netflix gets two thumbs up from me.
