The best TV company/DVR package I’ve ever owned is Netflix and my DVD player. IMO anything worth watching comes out on DVD/BD and now as Netflix adds more streaming content a lot of old reruns are easily accessible. Add in TV.com and I can watch almost anything I want. I guess if I liked to watch a lot of live sports and didn’t want to do it at a sports bar TV might still be interesting but with the high cost and low utility value for me I just had mine disconnected and haven’t missed it once.
