Yep, turned in my boxes, I felt that it was a waste of money. I watched maybe 10 out of the 300 channels and paid $100/month. BTW basic cable is free in my complex. Now, I have a PS3 hooked up in the living room which I stream Netflix, Hulu Plus, Youtube, etc. I also have a laptop hooked up via HDMI/VGA in the liv/bedrooms respectively. Even though I've gotten the laptops to work remotely and they stream whatever I want (read-porno) to my bigscreens, the picture often lacks the polish and the sound is not as good from the computer either.
Solution: throw money at it! ![]() Pros and Cons; Roku http://www.roku.com/ Pros, Is the cheapest route, has the smallest footprint and plays the most online content. Cons, no storage and doesn't play user content via sd card, etc. Boxee http://www.boxee.tv/ Pros, looks cool! ![]() Cons, no blueray, kind of expensive for what it does, doesn't support all of the services I am subscribed to yet. High end blueray various Let's just skip this one, it's not making sense. ![]() PS3 http://us.playstation.com/ Pros, Um everything... ![]() Cons, Price So what does everyone think? It's seems kinda silly to own two PS3s but the reasons I bought the first one also apply here... ![]() |

I'd get another PS3. Gaming benefits for your girl/guests, can browse web etc, bluray player, etc.

How about don't get anything and use the free basic cable?

Hell, seams like the PS3 will do it. I'm in the same boat, getting rid of cable tv(waste of damn money).
Anyways, I had that same problem with my old laptop with the picture, but they do make multi-media laptops with pertty good sound/vid drives. Also, musta missed it, but do you have an antenna? |

Id like to get rid of cable but Id miss HD sports too much. If I could ever get something like a Google TV with a DVR and ala carte sports channels in HD I think I could do it. The rest I could torrent.

Not to mention Netflix on the PS3. I use that a lot.

Could always get a 360, it can do all the streaming jazz and then you have access to the 360 only titles too.
