And what a good life it's been. Sure I miss things. I miss my Formula 1 but we have gone to the meet up groups along the way or found it in some hotels etc. Sure I miss the Yankee game every night, but I still get at least a game a week on My9 in NY. And I've been through this before when they first left channel 11 for MSG and cable was not even an option where I grew up. Radio is just fine for me. And now, I can watch video of the games on my Droid.
Netflix. Netflix is funny. We still have disc number 2 that they sent. We haven't even watched it. We just use the streaming. I do have to return it and bring on something else, but still. Streaming Netflix is really all we need. Combine that with a $30 antenna from radio shack and I'm getting 39 channels over the air. Almost all of them in HD.
And now this brings me to the Cablevision vs Fox dispute that has so many in this area upset and missing the NLCS and also the Giants yesterday. We had my father inlaw and brother inlaw over yesterday to watch the end of the game after we all went out for lunch. See, we don't pay ANYTHING for TV service each month and we were able to watch the game. We live a good 30+ miles out of the city and still have good reception in HD.
So to anyone looking for Cablevision vs Fox, you do not need to pay anyone anything. Get your antenna and hook it up. You won't care any more if Cablevision and Fox ever settle this dispute. And it might even lead you to explore other options than paying for you TV service. Or at least paying for a lot of service you don't want.
Good Luck Everyone.
