Im getting a new place in 6 weeks and instead of nearly 200 USD a month for the normal package, I am going to buy internet alone and use the other resources avail including digital bunny ears.
Have a laptop with HDMI cable that plugs into our nice HDTV. Like you where saying. Going to spend that 1200-1500 / yr on something a lot more productive.. Quite possibly more shares of ICPA ;)
Im personally very excited to see the Punch TV lineup in 12 days now. I am eagerly awaiting to see how Punch TV will cross platforms and how it will integrate to ICplaces.com
