We just cut our Time Warner Cable TV service.

I've been 3 months trying to get TWC to come and get my defective DVR (we have 2) several calls promising they would come and they would adjust our bill blah blah blah.

Then the new bill came and informed us we are getting a price increase so we talked it over and did some research.

Our TV bill (We have their internet as well) was over 110 bucks a month. We realized we could get Hulu plus and receiver most of the shows we watch for about 9 bucks a month and the two shows we definitely watch that Hulu doesn't have we could download the entire season of both shows in HD for less than we spend for one month of cable. Further you get each episode just a few hours after it is broadcast on TV.

We are going to build an antenna so we can get local news and NFL football. SO total savings will be about $1100 dollars a year and we will still get about all the shows we enjoy.

How is Cable TV going to stay afloat when people realize it isn't necessary anymore?

I don’t use their DVR, so I wouldn’t know.

Long ago in a galaxy far far away I was in a recording studio helping some friends do a demo for their band and the engineer offered me the use of the CS-80 they had in the studio. I was in heaven! Also they let me use their real Hammond B-3 and Yamaha CP 80 Electric Grand Piano. I think the price tag of those 3 instruments combined was well over 14 thousand dollars in 1980.

5 Years later I bought my first New Car and paid just over 7 thousand dollars.

My first digital setup of Keyboards cost me almost as much as my Car did. 2 Dx7s a Dx9 a KX5 Keytar and a Roland Juno 106.
