I pay three times that for digital cable... so my saving potential is even more attractive.

Well, there you go. Do it HOTD. Turn off the beast that is invading your home. ;^)

Let's see, $45/month X 12 months = $540.00/year. Just think what you could do with an extra $540.00 a year. Ex. ($7 movie ticket + $3.50 for popcorn + $2.50 for drink) = $13 per viewing of LOTR; $540.00/$13 = 41.54 extra viewings a year.

Besides, anything worth seeing is probably being broadcast on the web as well, and with your blazing system you could probably watch the shows just as well on your computer.

For the past year I have watched - literally - two one hour tv shows a week. Sometimes I watch Fox News. I don't pay for the cable since I only watch them at my parents' house. But... there is nothing that I miss not having seen. There's so much garbage on tv, I'd rather just watch movies if I have to see anything, anyway.
