Ads have been rendered useless with DVR, and most every cable and satelite provider has online streaming for free as a part of their offering. Most of those streaming services work on virtually every console and standalone streamers like AppleTV and Roku. None of what you said holds water when you look at it objectively and economically. I hate cable companies as much as the next guy, but if you actually compare your budget on cable vs streaming, you'll often find that streaming costs more if you're trying to get close to the same offerings.

It really depends. There's very little that I watch on my TiVo or real-time. I certainly watch more through Amazon/Netflix plus DVDs. Pretty much the only thing that keeps me from dropping cable TV is the fact that I can't get anything OTA so dropping cable TV would mean dropping TV 100%. (I do periodically toy with the idea of idea of dropping down to non-HD basic cable. But it's a bit like dropping landline phone service. It would save some $$s but I would be giving up a service that I use, albeit lightly.)
