I'm considering ''cutting the cord'', but does anyone have experience they can share on this? I'm only familiar with Netflix and new to Hulu+, but is that all you need? I'm currently watching videos/reading into these Roku devices. What are your opinions?

 

I ditched it well over 2 years ago. I use Hulu (standard, $0) and Amazon Prime Instant Video ($39/year, but really have Prime for the shipping benefits) and haven't looked back. You can watch most shows on the network's website now (although a week behind), so I don't see why anyone would pay for services...

 

Between Netflix and torrents I haven't ever regretted not having cable.

 

I unplugged over 5 years ago. Torrents, FTW! I just upgraded my service to 150M down and 50M up. Takes a few seconds to DL a 30 minute show.

If the show is awesome, buy it on DVD or BR and support the people. But cable and satellite are a waste of time, effort and money. Thought I'd miss it, instead I discovered I like so many more hobbies and the stuff I like I find a way to watch. If you think about it critically and logically, how much time do you spend channel surfing or waiting for one crappy show to end to get to a good one? It's lunacy!

 

I have a roku w/ Netflix and huluplus-... I don't miss cable

 

Internet is too slow for me, can't even watch a youtube without buffering.
