[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1170713, member: 43436"] I eliminated cable several years ago in favor of streaming TV over the Internet. The bad news is that more and more content is becoming restricted to cable/satellite subscribers, but the good news is that if somebody's willing to share their account information with you, you can log onto all of these sites as there's little safe guard. I use to subscribe to Nextflix but discovered that there's too much entertainment to stream for free (well, if you have the account info) that it was unnecessary. For select shows I like to watch but aren't available to stream, I buy iTunes gift cards on sale ($80-$85 for $100 typically) and buy them from iTunes. BTW, I recommend the Lenovo Q190 as a HTPC -- I recently "upgraded" to it (about $225-$250 on the 'net) and it has little issue streaming content while using noticeably little power, making little noise and generating little heat. (I should add that I'm not a movie person. When I was in HS, I always perceived going to the movies to being a chore one did just to get laid). [/QUOTE]
