I just cut the cable tv. Comcast jumped up to $143....way to high. Bought the Roku xd via onedaysale for $39.99 refurbished. I bought the exact same modem comcast was charging me $7.00 a month for $88.00 on Amazon. I joined Amazon Prime for free 2day shipping plus free Prime Instant Videos. Currently watching Downton Abbey and Sons of Anarchy plus the occasional movie for free. I downloaded the free Plex app to my Roku and my laptop that serves as a "server". So any of the things you can't get on Roku, Plex will stream it over to the Roku. MSNBC, YouTube, ABC, NBC, etc. Any movies, tvs you have can also be accessed through Plex just tell it where to look. I have mine on a Drobo for long term storage. So far I love Roku, Plex and Amazon Prime. Those three things have made it worth it. Oh I cut the cable and up my download speed to 50mbs for $74.95.
