The Shining still does it for me despite repeated viewings. To watch Nicholson go bat**it crazy over the course of 2 and a half hours, after all these years it still holds up.

Last: Tombstone. 3rd time I've seen it, still brilliant! Next: 'Up'

I've actually done that already, and am saving a ton of money per month. I'm on the one DVD out per mailing plan ($10.99 a month with Blu-Ray) and use the streaming like crazy to watch the shows I did watch on Dish, without paying the $80-100 a month I was paying Dish on a monthly basis. I've...

Last: Iron Man. Awesome, and looked good. Next: The Blind Side.

Last: The Hurt Locker Next: Inglorious Basterds Back on Netflix. :up

oooooh, Want!

Top Gun is a nice one (Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower!) The Fifth Element Crimson Tide U-571 (The Impact scenes will shake the walls)

AT&T has already upgraded in my area, where I can get a consistent 3G signal pretty much everywhere. And now are upgrading and building towers in the rural areas of the state to include them in the 3G service area. I have no complaints. :D

I took the LNBs off the Dish (in a SNOWSTORM no less) and shipped those, the box and the remotes back to Dish. Have been watching some of the olympics on the Digital OTA signal, and it looked really good in 1080i. I should be ready to purchase Apple TV by the first of the month, and am mulling...

If the market can't support RFD-TV without it latching on to a package and existing vicariously through other strong networks, then let them go out of business. The market will then have a bunch of new channels popup that people actually WANT to watch and pay for.

College is even worse, all the good players go to the professional leagues early. That makes it unwatchable. I could go into a whole other rant about college sports funding versus the rest of academics but I'll save that.

Honestly, I've grown to hate most things about watching sports. After the NBA, NFL and MLB are done with billionaires fighting with millionaires over money, the sports landscape will look dramatically different, and not in a good way. And that's fine, they could just do it without me.

I had the same concerns you did, but I had a look at the programming available, matched what shows I watched to what they had, saw all of them, plus a few that I missed due to waiting for Dish to get that channel in HD which didn't come SOON enough.

Actually, yes. I canceled on the day the NEW HD was introduced, I am on 3-4 network channels now, and will be getting Apple TV at the first of the month. Mostly for video podcasts, and the limited programming I was watching on Dish. (Basically, Discovery channel and a select few others). I...

Well, AGAIN, that's AVERAGE per month. Since I did the math, you figure that I'd be spending $192 a year on what I watch on a regular basis that isn't available OTA. 192 / 12 = $16 That's what I personally watch that isn't already on regular TV which I am watching OTA. And that's not...
