The first thing to go was DirecTV. We've had DirecTV for 7 years. We're a little addicted. Tivo is the best invention ever. Nick Jr is the best channel ever - educational kids programming without the "I want that!" commercials between shows! Love it! But at $65/month, it was too much.
Someone suggested we give Netflix a try. I hesitantly looked it up. Streaming shows and movies any time of day? It's like constant pay-per-view. And we get one DVD delivered to the house as soon as we send in the last one? Wow. And it's how much? $11 a month? WHAT? Are you serious? My kids can watch Thomas and Carebears all day (not that I let them watch that much TV...no, of course not...it's off at night at least) and it won't cost me $780 a year?
Sign me up! We started it a week ago and I love it. The only down side is no Food Network shows. I'm addicted to Guy Fieri and he is not on Netflix. But it's a small price to pay.
If you haven't given Netflix a try - sign up! It's awesome. And cheap! It's saving us over $600 a year!

I've really been thinking of doing this myself... I just have so many questions. Can you get it on multiple tv's for the single cost? Equipment needed? I always like to hear what "real" users have to say before I start researching more seriously. Glad it's working out for you!
Sara - we only have 1 TV so I'm not sure how that works. I'm sure the website would explain it. You don't need any equipment, just a high-speed internet connection and a way to get it to your TV (we use the Wii).
