I thought about asking this in Zero's thread but figured this is worth it's own discussion. I've been thinking about this because I really don't watch that much DirecTv anymore. I usually watch a lot of "old fart" stuff that a lot of us watch, live news and discussion, Discovery, Military, History, NatGeo, the occasional live pay per view UFC event, very few current live network shows with one big exception. Live sports like the Lakers. That I would have to go to a friends house which I do a lot of anyway or go to a local sports bar. For about $75/month I'm spending now I'm thinking why not do that? There's a lot of stuff online but I don't know all the choices for somebody who's thinking of cutting the cord to regular commercial TV. After reading in Zero's thread about getting a blu ray with wifi and streaming I'm thinking I could subscribe to various online services and get most of what I'm used to, it would be a whole lot less than $1,000 a year even though yeah, I would still be giving up some things that are just not available online. Thoughts and comments?

This is the same idea as me giving up my landline phone. I've had the same number for over 25 years but what does that mean, really? I haven't dumped it yet but I hardly ever use that either, it's all my cell.
