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

Crap, you mean that big-ass tv antenna that I had removed from my roof last year would still have been useful? Ranting

Interesting question, would an outside Antenna need to be grounded speaking of lightning rods?

I guess it would depend what part of the country you live in as to how important a properly grounded antenna is. I live in central Florida, and lightning storms are vicious and frequent in the summertime.

Quote from DC :
The one nice thing about the DirecTV Tivo was the channel guide was included, but I see you have to take the 500 hit for lifetime or the 15/ month for the guide.

I see that as the only downside to the TiVo.

I think the TiVo interface>all other DVR's
I got a coupon on eBay for $25 to get me a roamio with lifetime for under $500. I thought it was expensive at the time but the roamio is the best dvr I've ever had. Compared to $160/mo we were paying for direcTV it's worth every penny.
