I'm strongly considering cutting tied with my cable company and just going the Netflix route (or something similar) as outside of sports I watch very little TV. I can't even watch a Jags game through cable unless I'm lucky and they play an NFL North team on the road and that game is picked or the rare prime time game. Even then I work most Sundays so if I did get lucky and it was on TV here odds are decent I wouldn't be able to watch it live.

Have any of you cut the chord and got rid of TV or just never had it? I thought I'd seen something where Eric had done it or was considering it. I pay $120+ a month for cable and Internet (most of it is cable) to watch a few things a month. The more I think about it the more ridiculous it sounds that I ever paid that much for it to begin with.

I haven't used Netflix or any streaming alternatives much so thoughts and opinions on those would be welcomed too.
