I was at my nieces last night, she cut the cord, pays for hulu plus, netflix, amazon video, and a few others. shes spending close to 200 bucks to save on he cable bill and is on a lower tier dsl plan so she can only watch tv on one tv in the house at a time. Im like, it seems to me you are paying more for less at a lower quality. I pay for cable internet and connect my tv to the cable and have the channels that arent blocked, its surprising how many channels they leave available
