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.
