Goodbye HBO, hello Netflix!!

Yup, my wife and I just made the switch. Anyone else made the switch also? Was it worth it??

I still have HBO and a bunch of other premium channels; I'm not sure why, I don't think anyone in the house still watches cable.

I'm happy with Netflix. I abandoned satellite for that and off-air TV. Old charge was about $35 a month (not including movies), now I pay about $20 total.

I use a Tivo DVR connected to the internet and it will stream Netflix or Youtube videos.

I abandoned TV altogether. The internet is the best way to get TV!

Netflix is the best way to get movies as well.

My dad's been doing the streaming movies thing on my PS3, pretty neat but the quality is about as good as you'd expect.
