Every time I get my Dish bill I get PO'ed. Over a hundred bucks per month, and we don't have any optional channels like HBO etc. Finally one day we decided we'd had enough, and cancelled our Dish.

There's an old saying, "Cars got people out of the house, and TV got em back in." So, what was it like having no TV? I missed football and racing, other than that I was good. Mrs. Rayman liked her food channel stuff, and romance movies, but that's it.

Our solution is to watch Netflix or Amazon Instant video. We flip to determine what we watch. I watch to learn, she watches to escape, so we flip a coin. If she wins, and we wind up watching a romantic movie, I suddenly remember I have an early meeting in the morning..and bolt..(a technique I've perfected over the years.)

So far it's worked out well though. We both have extra time to get things done. We read more, (which we both love) and have discovered all this spare time. It's great. It's only been a week, and things could change, but I'll keep you updated in a couple weeks.
