I'm thinking of stopping my cable TV service and just using the web and phone connection.

I have three reasons:

1. I'm a movie buff that would like to save some money.

2. DTV (coming soon) over-the-air is really nice around here. (20 channels).

3. My kid gave me another 6 months of Netflix for Christmas.
And for my Birthday last week, she got me the Roku box.


The Roku box allows me to watch about 12,000 Netflix movies
(400 of them in 720p HD) using my (wireless) 5 MegaBit network connection.
Plus, I watch about 2 Netflix DVDs a week, via the US mail.


Since I know that I'm not the 1st person to think of this idea, I'm pretty sure
the cable companies are going to fight the future, by banning video streams, unless you pay extra..
This is where the Washington dimwits step in.. Wonder what they will do??
