So this post in the forums by TheEmrys, along with a recent encounter with shockingly clear digital TV reception in my area with a cheap antenna, has me thinking again about something I've long been considering: cutting the cord, so to speak, by canceling my cable TV service and moving to a mix of broadcast TV, my own HTPC, and various streaming video services. TR blogger Jason Fox made the move a while ago with decent results.
Personally, I'm sorely tempted. The DVR that comes with our Time Warner Cable service is so awful, it's basically customer abuse. I can't record most channels with my non-CableCard HTPC and don't enjoy the prospect of convincing Time Warner to work with me ...
