Question

I just dumbed my shaw down to basic cable. Recently purchased a media box called 'Ouya' from amazon. Installed XBMC on it and haven't looked back. Any TV show or movie is available to stream instantly, free of charge. Full seasons of shows, old or new, are available.

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
