So, I had this dream last night. I remembered it clearly this morning because I had hoped it was true. What was it you asked? Well if you don't know, we canceled our cable a month or so ago. David felt like he was wasting time watching TV and pleaded with me to cancel (seriously, it's how it happened). So even though I was perfectly happy with my TV consumption and DVR situation, I was happy to support him in this decision. (I can't be more grateful to have a husband who wants to improve in his life and be more productive.)
It really hasn't been bad. We have some shows on DVD for the kids and were even able to get a cable that connects our computer to the internet. Now we can watch networks shows at our leisure. So why do I seem to be complaining, well I can't watch random TV when it's convenient. I am starting to know what websites to go to that have a variety of entertainment on them, but I miss watching the news, late night talks show (like Jimmy Fallon), and Ellen on occasion. So, I am still adjusting a bit. It's worth it though. Dave reads a lot of great books (most of them on finances, investments, and leadership, so good for him) plus we get more family time. I have plenty of things to keep me busy, so I just do one of those things instead.
So, what was the dream that had me so excited? I dreamt that we received channels 3, 10, and 13 clearly on our TV. (In real life I'd squeeze 6 in because we do love PBS.) Otherwise it was a perfect world, no more cable bill still, less channels for my husband to watch, but all the channels I enjoy. Ah, a girl can dream right?
(PS we know about the converter boxes, but we are too far from the closest tower. So no luck.)

Oh, I feel your pain. When Bracken got the roof antenna hooked up and we could get all the regular channels clearly, I was so happy to have PBS back, and be able to watch TV before bed, or in the middle of the night. However, I realized that we immediately started watching a lot more TV than we had been, and that's not such a good thing. Such a catch 22.
I'm impressed. I don't know if our family could pull it off. We would have to buy a lot more Mickey Mouse movies. I bet we could get by on Fox and the Disney channel only. But you're right, at this time it is cable or nothing.
I know of a magical place called ninjavideo.net. No commercials, DVD quality video, fast streaming. It seems like the perfect place for someone like you. I go there occasionally when I'm feeling lazy. Just make sure you have the Ninja Helper Beta opened in a separate window otherwise the video streams won't work. Its completely safe and completely awesome.
For all your illegal online needs, visit Sir Nathan down that dark, dank alleyway. ;)
