Hmmm. My bill is close to $160 per month and I wouldn't think of dropping it (max internet, plus 2 HD-DVRs + premium HBO). There's lots of crap on cable, but there is good stuff too. HD is very cool. Watching my kids totally enthralled by the Planet Earth series in 8ft projection HD made it all worthwhile. They couldn't wait for the next show and waved off all peer and social events just to be with the family to watch it. Very cool. I love the Hist, Discovery, DIY, others. Modern marvels, mythbusters, ooh ooh.
