It’s been nearly two weeks since we cut out the cable and I couldn’t be happier.
Truth be told, our kids were pretty apprehensive about the whole thing. They wanted to know why we were “getting rid of the television.”
Since the switch, however, I haven’t heard them once grumble or complain about either the selection or the quality of programming available to them.
In full disclosure I must say that we’ve had intermittent connectivity issues with Hulu Plus, so much so that I actually phoned in to their tech support line.
Imagine my surprise when my call was answered after only one ring! And not by an automated voice response program, but by an actual human being!
He listened to my issue, acknowledged that they were aware of similar problems which other users had faced. He offered to comp us a free week of service for our troubles.
Hulu’s stellar customer service will go a long way towards me forgiving technical glitches. I’m much more willing to put up with a few hiccups while the technology matures due to their patron friendly attitude.

We’re finally doing it. This is the week we cancel our cable TV and take the plunge—making the switch to all streaming media.
Instead of shelling out $60 a month for cable, we’re switching to Netflix at $9.99 a month (for unlimited streaming and DVDs) and Hulu Plus at $7.99 on a Roku streaming media player.
This wasn’t a decision we arrived at lightly, but I think we’re going to be happy with our viewing options and with the extra cash in the bank each month.
Have you made the switch from cable to streaming media? Do you have any tips for someone new to the process? Sound off in the comments below.
