I did the same and ditched DirecTV last February and saved the same 80-90/month.I honestly haven't had the time with my startup and blog to even turn on the TV for more than an hour a week, and am somewhat considering selling it .. 50" plasma. That being said my setup also consists of a Vudu box that lets me rent movies whenever I want (actually have used this a ton) and a Roku netflix streaming box but I ended up canceling netflix to save money. If I have the time to watch anything, it is likely on my PC that shares the same desk as my development Mac. Over the years I have documented my various home theater setups.. starting with my 100-inch college projector diy setup: http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-100-inch-uber-theater-on-a-budget http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-100-inch-uber-theater-on-a-b... http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-download-with-newsgroups http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-download-with-newsgroups http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-1 http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-1 http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-2-htpc http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-2-htpc http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-3-blu-ray-and-surround-sound http://paulstamatiou.com/going-hd-part-3-blu-ray-and-surroun... http://paulstamatiou.com/review-boxee-media-center-or-going-hd-part-4 http://paulstamatiou.com/review-boxee-media-center-or-going-... http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-build-microsoft-windows-7-intel-core-i7-pc http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-build-microsoft-windows-7-in...
