Anyone done it? If so what are you using for movies, tv shows, etc? ( not torrent sites 
)
I'm cancelling cable and was wondering what everyone uses these days. Hulu, Netflix, HD Antenna, Chromecast, Roku?

For around the same money you can get one with Hi-DEF, it just won't have a DVD burner. Also, ones with smaller hard drives are available for less money (or at least used to be).
The DVR I recommend would not have any monthly fee or require a phone or internet connection, unlike your TIVO. Some of us actually hate monthly fees. Even if you get TIVO lifetime, it's $700 according to their website, and that's way more.
Not sure where you are getting your pricing, as it seems to have no basis in fact. Lifetime is only $500 as advertised on their site. Can be had very easily for $400. plus the $150 for the Roamio basic, and you get a total of $550, like I stated previously. Which is only $100 more than the linked unit, and much more usable and user friendly.

Anyway it was fun, thanks.
What I found funny was the fact that I had no idea who was a mod and who wasn't -
and the fact that it never even occurred to me to check, or even care, is something amazing.
