                  These days you could probably get along with basic cable and then a Netflix & Hulu+ subscription. Thats if you have a broadband interweb connection. Especially if you dont watch TV much.

                          Yep, still pay for cable.

                          I have one of their 'packages' including the highest speed cable internet they offered. However, I find myself watching NetFlix more than the cable over the past few months since signing signing up for NF and getting the GoogeTV flat screen.

                                  No TV for 9 months. Watch shows on hulu and movies no netflix.

                                      I just gave away one of my TV's, and I can see the day coming when the other one goes as well and with it the TV portion of my cable subscription.

                                          I do since it makes my bill cheaper. I get phone, tv and 15mbps internet for cheaper then if I only had phone and 15 mbsp internet. Of course, I almost never watch tv though.

                                              I have a guitar string shoved in the back of my tv and get whatever that will pick up. I barely even watch tv anyway.

                                                  Yeah but I haven't really watched it in around a year. I only watch if something major happens like the Bin Laden death

                                                      Cable for internet is the best I can do in my area so for now yes.

                                                          These threads are always popular because there's a lot of people who like to brag that they don't own a tv, or don't watch it for some reason. I personally enjoy DirecTV, the free HD DVR they gave me and the amount of HD channels they have for tv shows, movies, documentaries and live MMA.

They don't stop until all 3 are in your house.

Till then hulu and a antenna (hd's actually better over the air then with cable). Don't really watch tv much anyway. Only thing I miss is deadliest catch. not paying 65-75 a month for DC. Just not a fucking option.

I'm sure if Time Warner had an issue they'd let me know...I just called and bitched them out for throttling my connection, so they know full well what I download.

I personally enjoy DirecTV, the free HD DVR they gave me and the amount of HD channels they have for tv shows, movies, documentaries and live MMA.
                                                                                                                                                                      haha, I noticed that. Almost every post sounds like someone living off the grid, chopping down trees with a swiss army knife and hunting squirrels with their bare teeth -- but in reality they have 3 satellite dishes with DirectTV plus the cable company gold package with 10 showtimes and 15 different hbo.

I guess it's ok to walk out of wal-mart with DVDs as long as wal-mart doesn't complain about it then? Whether TW knows you download or not doesn't matter. The content owner is what matters. And I'm 100% sure they aren't ok with it.

I guess it's ok to walk out of wal-mart with DVDs as long as wal-mart doesn't complain about it then? Whether TW knows you download or not doesn't matter. The content owner is what matters. And I'm 100% sure they aren't ok with it.

It would be kinda like theft, if it was a new release, drm, blue ray hd burn, from a subscription service like hbo, and some other times. Outside of that, they all hate that it's legal, they lost that fight in the courts already.

                                                                                                                                                                                      The illegal part of this is why adult content owners can sue pirates, if a number of things happen. However, if anyone in our industry sued an ex-member that downloaded a movie they could have downloaded as a member, that Company will lose that fight very quickly.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Have you found the picture quality to be slowly deteriorating over time? I'm talking about the digital artifacting and jittering. I couldn't even watch the fight on HBO on Saturday. The picture wouldn't stop fucking up for even a few seconds.

                                                                                                                                                                                              For me, they're the only game in town, so I have to just suck it up -- but as soon as Fios is available I'm ditching their lame service. They really do suck balls.
