About this time every month, I curse my self for living without a roommate because the stupid bills come rolling in.
Sure, I have my rent, my electric which can't be avoided. Then my cable/internet bill.
I pay approx 40 a month for internet and 60 for cable TV. Now, really that is a deal. Because of a "hook-up" I have with someone who works for my cable company, I am getting employee discounts and that 60 includes every channel. Every HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc. movie channels, all sport channels, all local, even in HD. I also get an HD DVR included in the package.
Its great, except for one thing. I don't watch TV.
Okay, I do, but very little. I watch The Office and Scrubs every episode. Past that, it does little for me but an hour here and there.
Except hockey season, where I like to watch hockey, of course.
Now, I also pay for a netflix subscription, which is great. I love movies and watch DVDs pretty often.
Is it possible to get rid of cable and survive on online downloading (yes, I realize the legality of that is gray at best but a lot of these you can watch online, for legal and free) and just netflix it like crazy? Do any of you do this same thing? Help me FWSers
