A friend of mine bought a Roku box and hooked it up to his TV set. We've both got Time-Warner internet with Turbo Boost, but we want to dump the high-priced cable TV. We can still get basic cable (local news, ABC, etc) for a few dollars and HD if your TV set supports it, without a cable box. I could use a digital antennae for free HD, but it's to positional. Get rid of cable?
<http://www.roku.com/why-its-cool> So, I bought a WDTV Live box and hooked it up to my Yamaha Surround Sound Receiver with HDMI and wireless to my access point and my Windows Home Server and my NAS. That way, I can see my files AND tune in to YouTube, Netflix, Pandora, and Hulu. With the HDMI I can also view my Toshiba Ultra Book with Win 7 on the big screen, using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and the built-in web cam for Skype. "Outside of our internet connection (need 2MBPS or more) which we already had in place, our total internet video monthly fees are $12.95 for NetFlix and $14 for Basic (Limited) Comcast Cable. A great savings with a better video experience." - M.
