Anyone done it? If so what are you using for movies, tv shows, etc? ( not torrent sites Stick Out Tongue )

I'm cancelling cable and was wondering what everyone uses these days. Hulu, Netflix, HD Antenna, Chromecast, Roku? Dontknow

I almost never go to movies. They're expensive, and no one ever wants to see the movies I want to see. But I'll add it to my list to download when it comes out on DVD, though. Wink
We rarely go out to see them either, kids have a way of doing that...but it was quite good...I will qualify it by saying it was very much like a well-done Hitchcock film...not everyone is into those...

Yeah, kids certainly do.

That sounds good. I've liked what I've seen of his films.

It's not my favorite form of cardio, but as long as I have music, it's perfectly enjoyable for me.

It's beautiful this time of year, go run outside. You know, with sun and trees and people and stuff. Harhar

I love being in the rain. Cloud9 We get so little rain here, when it is raining, I'll go outside just to be in it.

I guess I've missed some things not having cable in almost a decade...

I don't even want to think about what kind of garbage they'd show on a network like that.

Just get an antenna. Rescan. You can plug it in where your Comcast connects outside.

I gave tuning into OTA programing a try, and even living in an urban area it flaked out even more than Dish used to during a thunderstorm...
