We use our Roku exclusively. We tried to go a week with just the roku before we cancelled cable. We found we didn't turn on the cable once in that week so we just went on and cancelled cable. It's been about 7 months now and we haven't looked back.
We did splurge and get Amazon Prime for $78 a year. We order a good bit from them so the free shipping is nice. Through AP you can get the new shows that aren't on Hulu Plus the next day for $1.99. Seems like a lot per episode but there are only a couple of shows we watch that way. So at most we are looking at 2 shows- 4 episodes a month so 8 episodes at $1.99 equals $15.92. Still way less than our pervious $150 directv bill. Usually it's less than 8 episodes a month. We only do that for shows we both want to watch (The Walking Dead comes to mind) otherwise we just stream it individually on a laptop from cbs.com or whoever.

Damages. God that first season sucked me in worse than Breaking Bad. Oh hell yes!! Forgot about Damages because I finished all 4 seasons available on Netflix a while back. I am waiting patiently for the 5th and final season

POM - what about Breaking Bad. Have you watched that? That's it! The one DH mentioned that I couldn't think of with the man's face on the cover. LOL! Adding Damages to the list.

I use Netflix for all the BBC programming.
Cable puts BBC on it's most premium package & I'm not willing to pay $150 a month for that. I think they've tamed the prices down now, but they have captive market now & I don't want to play their game. I'll stick with the alternatives.

We use Amazon Prime too, stream free and buy the content we want, including renting ny new movies we want to see. We have no netflix at this point, although I was thinking of netflix streaming long enough to see the new Arrested Development episodes...

GEEZ my place and my wonderful wireless network is pretty good. and I am proud of it! I or we are paying for: Comcast Cable Amazon Prime Netflix - regular DVD and Streaming. But about to upgrade back to Blu-Ray DVD's because not there is only one 5 Disc DVD player left and it doesn't get used often at all. Same as the DVD recorder. We watch Netflix streaming on our phones, her tablet, my PS3, now our WiFi Blu-Ray player, and sometimes my computer. my problem with Netflix DVD and streaming is just about everybody has movies available before Netflix. to me I really don't care about that...well not to much - it's just something that I noticed. I can go to almost anywhere, PS3 network movies, Comcast on demand, or /and Amazon Prime, Hulu where ever and see a movie I would have to pay around $3 to $5. so I just wait for Netflix to catch up. with two routers at home streaming is not an issue
