And then I got to the ending of your post, with the shiny and coveted Apple TV, and now I am going to drag my jealous ass into the corner to pout.

We dumped cable six years ago in our move to a new house where broadcast TV was possible. There were complaints over the lack of Nickleodeon, and some tears over missing Disney Channel, but our TV time went down and our watching selections went up. Then the media movement to online over the last couple of years widened our viewing choices. The switch to digital last summer drove the nail in the coffin (24 channels). Of course, we use Windows Media Center, but the addition of Gmote Server on my Android phone is making things even better. Good luck in the new media world, sounds like you'll do fine!

And the tv is so much less expensive than our cable (though without boxee we'd have to pay for content) -Melissa: We had to ask many questions to make sure that it would be able to do what we wanted it to do... Cami's techie side plays 20 questions with everyone. -Jerry: Ohhhh, you're so techie you know how to insert that little apple symbol!!! With the clever use of the command key, now I can too!       Oh yeah. Thanks for that. -Faddah: There will be no crying on me... but you may be able to work something out with the doc... as for the hack, we each did part of it. It was super easy though, there were excellent instructions available, and as always twitter peeps totally stepped in with knowledge. -lollyrae: I love it when you stalk me... I'll let you know how all goes. -Kathleen: So far it's going well. If your family isn't big on sports then this seems to be a good way to go. It's passing the first test. K is home sick from school today and I needed to get some work done while getting her to lie down quietly. She wanted to watch TV... something she hadn't seen. Oh whatever will I do? Boxee to the rescue she's watching the Jumanji cartoon on Hulu. -BW: So far sports is really the only thing I see that’s missing… and since no one in our house watches sports (save the occasional basketball game) we’re good to go.

Now, don't mind if I stalk around, so I can catch the next episode of how your Apple TV is working out for you. This behavior of course, is being conducted in the best interest of a very concerned consumer! Glad it worked out for you!!
