I don't have cable TV. Hell, I don't have a TV. I watch about 3 hours of TV... per week. And you think I'm going to pay for cable to get your movies? Heh. Fact

Fact is, $8/month for Netflix is all I can justify and I justify that largely based on TV reruns than movies. Add in Hulu (not Plus) and that's my limit.
Given all that if I could just get HBO Go without subscribing to cable, I'd gladly fork over maybe even $20/month. As it stands, I can't justify spending >$100/month for the "privilege" so I guess I have to continue relying on, well, other sources.
- Florin_Andrei 15y agoI do have a big TV, but it's mostly for games and Netflix, via a PS3. Oh, and there's also a PC next to it, browsing the Internet on a large screen is awesome. :) So that's it, it's just a big screen.
- brk 15y agoSo that's it, it's just a big screen. The TV we watch most often is a Panasonic 42" commercial plasma display. Just a big monitor. No tuner, no speakers, just a screen and some inputs. One of those inputs is a Tivo, and 1/2 of the time we're watching Netflix through it. 1/4 of the time we're watching torrented shows off of a WD media player box. The other 1/4 of the time we're watching the local news, or listening to it in the background (for what purpose I'm not sure, it's mostly garbage). I had digital cable for about 3 months earlier this year. Decided to finally try it. And, after 3 months, decided it wasn't worth it. The US is moving away from the old "broadcast" models quickly. People almost don't even care about the actual content, to the extent that there are many viable options to fill a block of time with various programs.
