[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 963943, member: 60724"] Caymen, For Theresa's shows, an OTA (over-the-air) antenna and an HD video recorder (like a Tivo) purchased at Costco or some other would do just fine. You would be money ahead that route than putting together an HTPC solution, IMHO. Most of your cable channel "original programming" is available OTT (over the top), meaning streamed over the internet by their various providers, as well as made available at a delay on DVD and watch-now via Netflix. The one thing I don't want to lose with my cable is my DVR and its ability to premium channels, as well as my ability to watch premium content on-demand. I am an HBO and Showtime original series junkie, and if I had to pay for those ala-carte on iTunes it would be too costly. HBO Go is cool, but it requires your cable/satellite provider subscription. The moment that HBO and Showtime provide their own monthly subscription, price it less than $10/month, each, is the day I tell Comcast cable to shove their TV service. That day may never come, though. HBO and Showtime have a love/hate relationship with Comcast, Time Warner, etc, and they tend to get along and not cut each other's throats...just kick and scratch a bit. TJR [/QUOTE]
