Very interesting this XBMC
Will look into this soon. Am getting tired of paying through the nose for not much value.

Net-only here. No cell service (keeping the old phone on for when I'm out of town), no decent tv service (and I watch all my stuff, limited as it is, online anyway), and a landline for work contact. Nice and simple, and leaves way more money for the tank! :P

I didn't have any TV all through university. Afterwards when I moved in with my now fiancée we got it... I've been pushing to cancel it ever since. The ever rising bill that those leeches at Telus send us each month makes me cringe. I really want to get rid of the landline as well as we both have cell phones.
