Internet TV is Awesome!

Gloomy day it is around here. Yesterday it was pouring like crazy while we were at the mall. It felt like the roof would cave in because of the rain.

Last week went by without much ado. Work have been really slow...slower than usual so I did nothing but watch on Netflix for the most part. I must say that ditching our cable is probably one of the best decisions we've made in the past few months. We've been planning in doing that for quite sometime now. We finally did it about  a month ago. The cable company kept calling us offering us the best they have but we stood our ground and said no. It was quite tempting to take them on their offer - free premium channels [plus all the channels we used to get with our old plan] for 1 year for a quarter of what we used to pay for a year! Ain't that tempting???

It's been about 2 months now since we subscribed to Netflix ~ first month is free and so far, we've been loving it. We're not big TV watchers anyway so I don't really know why we kept them for as long as we did. Let me correct that. I am a big TV watcher...before the internet that is. But now that there's internet where you can watch everything, my TV time has been cut to almost....all of it?

Oh...one of the reasons I was hesitant to have the cable discontinued was my habit of watching [listening] TV while working, especially late at night. We knew that Netflix would still allow us to watch TV but I thought it's either the on TV or computer...not both AT the same time. Well, I was wrong. All we had to do was get this gadget that we can hook up on our TV and voila...we can watch on both TV & computer. Oh, the new TV sets now are Netflix, Hulu, etc ready. All you have to do is have internet connection and you're good to go.

We also have an antenna now so we get the local channels as well as the main ones...ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS as well as PBS and a few other channels....for FREE! So if you haven't tried it....you should. The worst that can happen when you tell your cable provider that you're ditching them is for them to offer you a deal too sweet to pass up....tee hee!
