and never looked back! We have Netflix (streaming plus 1 DVD), and Hulu plus, and this is more than enough for us! My husband also downloads tons of shows from German tv stations (we are German). Usually works great! I also bought an antenna ($50, but you can get decent ones already for under $20, depending how close you live to a big city), that gets us a few local channels in HD for free! I love not having to watch tons of commercials, and we can watch current tv shows, like the Daily Show, Colbert Report, Glee, Modern Family, etc. a day later on our own schedule. This saves us about $100 a month! Quitting cable was well worth it!
