[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2413218, member: 1535"] Its just me at my cabin in northern California and in a little studio apartment in Des Moines so when I am at either place working totally everything I watch comes from my computer or handhelds via the wireless/internet- and I dont miss anything. The TVs I have there I usually just stream stuff into them but I have an antennae for local channel news. Here at home though we do it all and it is very expensive but my wife is old school and wont let me get rid of any of it. The kids, like me, use their computers for most everything but the wife still wont let me cut the cable or landlines that she has had for over 20 years. Ive only been here for 10 years, cable has been here longer than me. She likes her cable channels and thinks she needs a landline for emergencies or whatever, no idea really. There are still landlines in her kids rooms and only one kid is still living at home. 3 different numbers. She works hard so I dont ever tell the woman what she can or cannot do especially what she spends her money on when she wants to relax, but damn it just doesnt make fiscal sense. And she sits in bed either working on work on a laptop or is on her notebook or phone while shes watching the TV anyways. We have 4 HD DVRs hooked up to 4 huge TVs in 4 different rooms, and nobody watching them but the wife back in her bedroom. Me and the kids are all on our computers. If I do sit and watch TV its for news or a movie which I probably will stream into the TV anyways. I watch very few of the cable channels and could for sure live without them. We have shown this woman how to do everything we do and how we can live without cable or phone but she is reluctant to give in. Yet. Still working on her. [/QUOTE]
