Well, I cut the cord! Turned off Comcast TV and TiVo, upgraded Comcast Internet to 50 MB/s, signed up for Hulu Plus in addition to Netflix.

This is old hat to many of you, but a big leap for me :-)

I don't think it will save hardly any money, but I'm we've basically stopped watching traditional cable TV so I don't see why I should keep paying for it.

The only thing I watch on cable TV anymore is racing. I've figured out how to watch bike racing online (all the races are on Eurosport via pirate feeds; also the "Hola" proxy server plugin to the Google Chrome browser lets you get around geo-restriction and watch directly via Eurosport, RCS, etc.). I guess I'll either find F1 online (any ways? official or otherwise?) or forgo it. The kids consume TV programs via Netflix, they never watch via traditional TV.

I need to get a PC and hook it to my TV to get all this on the big screen. Or should I get a Roku?

Any tips and hints for this?

(Comcast only resisted my "service downgrade" for a couple minutes. They said I was on a two year contract; I told them they were lying; they caved immediately.)
