800 channels down to 1

Ever get the feeling that you've got 800 channels yet nothing is on? We have made the bold step to cancel our satellite, well actually Jess and I talked about it briefly then I went ahead and cut the cord. It's amazing how much money you toss into this entertainment without any question. We were well over $100 a month with our PVR rental and HD channels and I know I'm going to miss my hockey this season but I think we can put our money towards better things and still survive.

We are now running on Potato vision thanks to Eoin and Barb for showing us this great trick. You stick the end of your cable wire into a potato and it works like a sweet antenna, I guess you just need to remember to change it once in awhile. So far we get the CBC and that's great for me. The kids just realized it today when the asked if they could watch one of their shows and they took it harder then I expected but have already seemed to get over it. Friends of ours have said that doing this has changed their lives and I can already see the benefits as I'm reading more and Jess and I seem to have more time together in the evenings.
