Cutting the Cord from Cable company

[fly boy]

Back story -

Sick of getting screwed out of $25 a month for a DVR. I have super basic cable with a DVR box. In my living room where the box is located, and I can record stuff, I get around 25 channels. In the bedroom if I just plug in the TV, I get 60+ channels. Is there a way I can have my own DVR and record TV shows in my bedroom? Thanks

This.
I met with him 2 weeks ago and punted Comcast to the curb right after. I'm very happy and $120 a month richer.

How's it REALLY working?

I've got enough other avenues for movies and TV shows but Sports is my big killer ( I don't have cable already) tired of missing football and hockey games I'd like to see.... oh and motorcycle racing ..... those are the 3 reasons I almost get cable then look at what they want and scoff...

Working just dandy for us. Kid can easily stream his cartoons, wife watching her favorite shows and I watch my movies and documentaries. I really don't watch much tv. What we realized is how much time was spent looking at the Comcast guide to see what is on then settling for something. Now we just decide on a show, search it , stream it and done. I am not a sports buff, but in searching the sports channels every game that is being played can be streamed. I can not vouch for the quality of the stream as I have not checked it out. But the games are available. Every sport.

Are the other streams you watched a good quality ? ( I assume they are since you didn't say they WERE'NT)

If you've got an extra mini I'm interested.

I'd love to do something else but I'm just so damn lazy. I have to deal with technology all day so I find it very hard to learn anything new when I get home.

On a not completely unrelated note, one of my co-workers showed me how he uses a TiVo, plexmedia server and some other software to pull everything off of his TiVo, remove commercials and serve it up while he's traveling worldwide. Cool idea but there has to be something easier.
