TV

One of the most expensive monthly bills outside of our mortgage is our cable TV. We have a nice package, the digital + DVR package, including internet. No HBO, Cinemax, sports packages, HD… nothing too fancy. The DVR is something I couldn’t live without though.

One thing that we’ve been seriously considering lately is the Apple TV. I figure if I get an Apple TV and an eyeTV I could get rid of the standard/digital/DVR packages and save possibly a good $50 a month. In half a year the Apple TV/eyeTV would pay for itself, and I’d get to keep watching all the TV that is bad for me.

Of course, we have some luxuries that we would miss. The ability to record 2 things at once. The ability to watch some of the standard cable channels (The Food Network, USA, Discovery, … … … ok thats it for me) … but some of those shows you can buy over iTunes anyway.

We’ll keep the cable for now… but if they don’t do something about their extreme pricing soon they’re going to lose a customer.

Of course I could stop watching TV all together since it rots my brain… … … nah.

In other news, no baby yet.
