We have friends who stream Netflix via their Wii.

We would go the streaming TV route, but a new set costs a lot more than the Roku or other streaming devices.

But, the bottom line is that the sat TV has a lot of competition. There is so little worth the price on sat TV, that we decided we didn’t need the subscription. We had really become TV addicts, especially in the winter and were surprised that we really don’t feel any withdrawals. Except for GBTV, it is all commercial-free, too. That and no more “FOX NEWS ALERT” have been wonderful for our peace of mind.

If my wife didn't absolutely have to have HGTV (Formerly Home and Garden TV; now little more than Homo-Gay TV), DIY, Food Network, Cooking Channel and some other crappy channels, we'd probably drop DISH as well and save some bucks.

I'd miss TCM though.
