I was thinking about switching to completely watching television via the internet and not getting cable. I figured there is a flood of stuff on Hulu + projectfreetv + surfthechannel, that the only reason why I would want to keep cable is to watch live sports which I think I could go to a friends house to see since I don't watch them that regularly.
Just wondering if anyone's "made the switch" or done something similar and had any thoughts about it.... --------------------  |

Throughout school it was free in the dorms or already provided in the apartment. When I moved to a house, I had to pay for it because we had to split the bills, but I hardly ever watch TV. Even right now, I sold my television when I moved in October, and my roommate has 42" HD LCD with DirecTV HD and like all the movie channels, but I may watch maybe 30 minutes a week, and that's a serious maybe.
