As long as the shows are good, I don't mind. I came to Netflix for a few very good reasons. They are ten times cheaper than any cable provider, they produce quality shows of their own while maintaining a library of tons of other shows I've missed over the years, and I don't have to pay for a bunch of reality TV drek that I'd never watch in the first place.
Keep being awesome, Netflix. Don't fuck us, Bros.

Right, now if someone can provide live HD sports that doesn't lag like most streams, then there would be no reason for me to have cable at all. Those assholes at Directv know that I only want sports so they charge me out the ass and give me 300 shit tier channels just to give me the live sports I want.

Its probably limited to Canada but CBC will stream hockey, maybe other sports but I have only watched hockey there. I watched most of the playoffs on their website last year, quality was decent and worked pretty well compared to other streaming sites I have tried.

Yeah, buddy, they've got you hook line and sinker, and you have my utmost sympathy for that. Personally, I don't go in for sports. I'll play them, but watching bores me. Guess I'm kinda lucky there.

Tried SlingTV? I want to give it a go, but it's still on time slots although it does have AMC options and CN as well. Their big hook is ESPN.
The problem I have is its like $25 a month so between it hulu, netflix, and prime I'm almost at the cost of a monthly cable sub but the advantage being the majority of the content is on my schedule and far more options than cable.
