Last night we had The Talk. It wasn’t easy. It was kinda scary. It was time though. It needed to happen.
We talked about whether or not it would be more cost effective to get rid of cable television than to keep it. We already use Netflix extensively, and we (too) often take advantage of iTunes for various TV shows season passes. HBO has a subscription service now, and Hulu looks like it would do a decent job giving us new, first run series’. The main point against giving up cable is sports. The NHL and MLB both offer video subscription services, but are local broadcasts blacked out? If they are they are more or less useless. Would I be okay with going 100% radio for my Bruins and Red Sox needs? I have to admit that I don’t watch nearly as many games as I used to, but at the same time while this conversation was taking place last night the Bruins game was on the tube. Ummm…
We have a contract with FiOS right now and it doesn’t end for another six months. When that time comes, will we finally ditch cable TV? It could very well happen.

Yep definitely ditch! Got rid of my cable recently and I thought I would miss it bout I don’t. It’s a waste of money esp since I mostly used Netflix and Hulu.

I know it’s the right thing to do, but I don’t know if I can live without being able to watch hockey and baseball. I’ve built up a lifetime’s worth of obsession. It’ll be tough to just give it up.
