My only compliant with Sherlock is the series has been entirely to short.
I think Martin Freeman is excellent as Holmes and also think
Benedict Cumberbatch is excellent as Sherlock.

I have cut my cable too and rely entirely on a cheap antenna in the attic and streaming internet feeds on XBMC which is free.

I am about 65 to 100 mile from the nearest transmitter and this little antenna gets me about 68 channels in HD.

I also run XBMC which is what I usually use

I get so much stuff on xbmc it is ridiculous, you just need high speed internet.

I use the crap out of F.T.V, 2 movies evolved, Mashup, Movie25, project Free TV, Istream, 1channel and Icefilms which are all add ons for XBMC.

FTV gives be about 16 UK channels under it non geo menu and I love them.

Heck I am watching BBC now!

We’re using digital antennas on each tv so that we do not have to run cable through each room. We may have to do that eventually, but right now we are running trials to see what we can live with.

I have to get back to practicing with Chromecast and streaming from laptop. Although I don’t know what we’d watch that way that we can’t via Hulu.

We’re saving about $125 a month by canceling DirecTV. We’re going to buy another smart tv so we have wi-fi in bedrooms.

I’m not watching that much tv anymore (we used to DVR and watch shows together) but my husband is checking out a number of shows through Hulu+. He’s now watching Surviving Jack and I can hear him laughing like a loon.

If Fargo the show is anything like the movie, I don’t expect to like it...too “out there” for me.
