[QUOTE="the_reverend:1318811"]http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/20/editorial-cutting-the-cable-cord-a-la-carte-trend/ Seeing as I want to finally cut the cord and just use comcast for the internet. That article doesn't have much to it, but right now I pay about $165 for cable each month. For that I watch 1) science channel 2) history channel 3) natgeo 4) comedy central for Tosh/South Park*/futruama/random late weekend night eddy murphy raw 5) fox for simpsons*/family guy*/worcoholics/daily show*/colbert report* 6) TNT for falling skies* 7) AMC for walking dead* 8) NBC for the office* And every now and again, I tune in TBS for something crappy. * = watch on hulu or the website of the show I have a shit ton of content at home for movies/music. So I set up http://xbmc.org/ this weekend on my desktop and it's pretty freaking awesome. Gives me an almost netflix like interface to all my music/videos/photos/media. Apple TV: So I looked at spending $99 on an apple TV so I can jailbreak it and load xbmc on it. I have a PS3, but really hate the interface. The problem here is that I wouldn't be able to watch any of the *'d things up there if I set up with an apple TV. But I would be able to mirror my iPad screen to my TV which is neat. Roku, Google TV, boxee? not sure anything about those since I didn't look. What I ended up going with for now is I ordered a HDMI card for a Windows Home Server machine that I have at my house: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859107052 I bought this thing for $230 and all it does is sit quietly in my back room and back up my computers. Sitting on 4x1.5TB worth of space, 4GB of RAM, and a 120GB SSD. I'm going to install xbmc or plex (http://www.plexapp.com/) and put the new box where my cable box (and possibly my p3s) currently sit. I'm hoping that the N40L is able to keep up and stream correctly. anyone else have any experience other than tl;dr or csb?[/QUOTE]
