We dropped DirecTV last June. We now have a Roku II, Netflix and GBTV (month-to-month). We went from $70/month with no premiums (dropped those years ago) to around $25/month. We keep the 1 DVD at a time just because not everything we like is streamed. Roku carries podcasts/vodcasts and other excerpts from many network news channels and keeps adding various channels every month.
We don’t miss it. I don’t even go to the FNC website very often. Between Drudge and FR and a few right wing blog sites, we get all the news and information we can handle. I used to have FNC or Fox Business on all the time in the background.
I’m thinking about dropping DirectTV again. I have an XM receiver in the house, so I can listen to FNC if I want. Not a bad way to do it, and cheap.
Headed that way. Just have to wean the Mrs off the junk she watches while staying at home.
