We dropped all cable except the basic $17 package. Reason for that is Mrs. Child likes a particular Louisville station and for news & weather and we are too far out to get it with an antenna (tried).
But with Netflix, the usenet, TUBE+ (free streaming TV, no commercials, lot of choices) we have more than enough to watch. Neither of us cares about sports.
I use PLEX to stream video wireless from my computer to the TV. Flawless, interface is much like Netflix and all the metadata for each series or movie is automatically brought down from the net. Pretty cool. Want to binge watch all 6 seasons of Republic of Doyle? All you need is the popcorn.
