I'm reevaluating our Cable, Netflix, Hulu+ ...

Since we have added the DVR feature to our cable service we have had two different issues.  Besides cable we get Netflix both streaming instantly and DVD by mail.  This last DVR issue has me ready to completely cancel our cable.  If the bill was in my name I might have cancelled it already.  However it has had me really rethinking if we can do without cable and still watch the shows we like to watch.  I have been able to find just about everything we watch online whether it's at ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Hulu, Netflix.  

I started looking at the potential savings though.  Netflix is about $20 for the DVD and streaming options we have.  Hulu has many shows you can watch for free without signing up for the + feature.   As long as you have internet you can head to most channels websites and view episodes of shows on there.  Not every show is available to watch online, but that is what is great about Netflix.  Eventually all shows go to DVD don't they?  I would rather pay the $20 a month plus internet cost then pay the overpriced prices of Cable, Dish and Direct TV.  

At this point I have lost the fight of cancelling our cable.  Some people in the house like to be able to flip the channels and watch what's on when it's on.  Me however, I think I would be just fine without.
