I'd not give up cable or sat tv for internet tv at this point. Ive tried em all and the quality just isn't there yet for me. I'll keep paying out the ass for kickass Sat tv and have a smile on me face.

Until you can get every sporting event on internet TV, won't be cutting the cord.

I love cable. I am able to keep up with multiple shows as they happen rather than catching them a season late. Without cable I would not have seen The Shield, Battlestar Gallactica, Stargate(any of them), Rescue Me, The Avatar, and so on. I tried Hulu but they are missing several networks and shows that I keep up with and Netflix is a season or so behind. That is great until you pop into a thread that tells you who shot JR and you aren't there yet. 

I use Netflix as a sub for the premium channels like HBO and Showtime because I can get more for a cheaper price.

For my cable which includes my internet I pay 100 dollars. I can reduce that by about 50 if I cancelled cable and just used my internet, but my wife and I enjoy basic cable way too much to do that .

Also Mak, You have excellent taste in shows. castle and Grimm are a couple I watch currently as well.

God bless ya Duck! Keeping guys like me employed in the Cable industry 

My cable/Internet/phone bill is about $340 a month.

Is that a business account?

Nope. Home use. 4 TVs with digital boxes, 2 with DVRs. HBO, Showtime, & Starz digital packages, VOP package, & high speed Internet.

It all just adds up.
