I know some of this was covered in a previous thread, but here goes.

I currently have DirecTV and my contract is up 2-2-2011. they kinda pissed me off with a misrepresentation which I aint gonna spend time explaining, so I was seriously thinking about switching back to Dishnetwork then anyway. I have been doing some reading up and have now reconsidered. I am currently paying around $80 a month for a crapload of crap that I don't watch. We primarily watch a lot of TV Land, TruTV, TBS, and mostly old reruns of classic sitcoms such as All in the Family, Sanford and Son, everybody loves Raymond and whatever. I don't hardly ever watch movies, but when I am at work my wife does like to watch the chickflicks on LMN and such as that. If I switch back to dishnetwork it will prolly cost at least $60 or $70 for the same crappy crap I have now.

I am thinking seriously of buying two Roku XD/S, one for the LR and one for the BR. and I can then pay $8.00 a month for Netflix and $8.00 a month for Hulu and have more than enough crap to watch, plus I still have an antenna and can watch about 30 local channels for news and all the regular crap.

With the wife not having been employed for a year and a half, I figured this would be a good way to save at least $50.00 a month and still have plenty of crappy crap to watch. Even figuring the $200.00 the equipment will cost and the $16 a month even if we only do it for 6 months it will still save me almost $400.00

what say you?
