Well worth the trade.
The only way I'll ever come back to any kind of subscription TV service is on an ala carte basis, but we're in no hurry.
I got a jailbroken apple tv2 and I can watch basically ANYTHING I want for free (After spending 170$ for atv2)I see they are getting more pricey as people catch on. Only the apple 2 has been jailbroken so far. I suggest FReepers check into it. I LOVE MINE!!(link for search on ebay.)

It takes a little getting used to but it is very liberating, isn’t it?!
I decided to cancel my cable too. About the only station I watched was Fox news, and when they went the way of screaming heads, I decided it was a waste of time.
Talk radio and the internet (FR) give me all the news I need, and there are always clips of the really good stuff. Someone puts them up on YouTube.
And, important hearings from C -Span are always available on the net.
Time to send a signal to the coastal “mediots” shoving their agendas in our eyeballs.
How about a FReeper boycott of cable/satellite? Maybe many thousands of letters, all canceling on a certain date would get their attention
