I doubt you could totally eliminate your cable company because they might still have the better internet speeds. But yeah, eliminating the tv portion of the bill .. might be nice.

And it's not like you can't watch your actual TV anyhow. Just get a little PC on each TV and some PVR or media software and poof done.

I guess the real question is how legal is it? Is it a grey area, is it totally legit, or is it non-legit in the eyes of the RIAA or whatever?

Any links? I'd love to look into this more myself. It's time consumers started taking more control of things like this. Prices go up and up and up, service gets less and less, and incomes are getting more and more pinched (ie., no raises, or hours cut back due to economy or whatever).
