ugly hideous textured ceiling

At the risk of offending those who "like" textured ceilings, I pose the following question - has anyone had success removing texture by means other than ripping out the drywall and starting fresh?

We moved in a 2 yrs ago and every ceiling surface, and I mean every one - is textured - and I'm slowly growing to hate it. A lot. It's not popcorn, but a hard texture. The way I see it, here are my options:

1) sand it. It seems to me you will never get a perfect surface though and then THAT will just replace the texture as something to drive me nuts. Not to mention it would take forever.

2) screw a sheet of drywall over it. Would work in some rooms, not as easy in others.

3) move

4) take the 911 out for a drive and forget about it. (not today, it's snowing).

Anyone ever tackle this and have any advice?
