It seems like every time we stay in a hotel, the quality of the TV has gone down! The library has provided us with most of what we want, and other methods the rest!Catherine at Frugal Homemaker Plushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014697591588112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-32336870142884326082010-02-02T11:17:08.933-06:002010-02-02T11:17:08.933-06:00You may not even need Xbox Live if you have a wifi...You may not even need Xbox Live if you have a wifi router for your house. We have a PS3, which admittedly may work different, but we just had to log it into our wireless network to access netflix streaming (even if you are hard-wired, you could probably run USB from your modem to Xbox). My husband is the A/V expert in the house, so a Xbox may work totally different, but it may be worth looking into so as to save that extra $50 annually.Thankfulhttp://www.somedayagoat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-76603584679382201332010-02-01T22:31:25.827-06:002010-02-01T22:31:25.827-06:00Congrat's on giving up cable.

We also swithced to Tracfones - again, no contracts. <br /><br />we like project runway and watch it on Lifetime on our laptopRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-15876806320529786282010-02-01T17:47:33.414-06:002010-02-01T17:47:33.414-06:00Less is more, indeed.

If I really want to watch something, I can usually catch it on Hulu, but there's really not that much to watch anyway! I don't really feel like I'm missing much (OK, I'll admit I kind of miss Law & Order).<br />Kudos to you for dumping cable!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415224626498252020noreply@blogger.com
