I actually love the fact that we just have broadcast tv. Sure, I miss the History and Travel channels, but our local PBS station makes up for it and if there's really something on the two above cable channels that I really need to see immediately, I have a wonderful sister who will tape things for me.

netflix is definitely the way to go, especially since they're putting out just about every tv show, new and old, on dvd. sure, you have to wait a year or so to see the newer shows, but that just makes their viewing all the more pleasureable.
