We've kind of done the same thing. We got tired of paying $100 a month for cable (when all the shows are crap anyway) and put it on vacation status. That means we just have to pay $5 a month to keep the cable and everything we've DVR'ed, and I think we can do that for so many months before having to go back to full price & services or shutting it off. But we have one of those neat little DVD player/network video boxes where we can watch DVD's, play music, or stream video straight from Netflix. I like it because I don't have to hook up my laptop like I did before. I hope I can convince my wife to keep doing this and get rid of cable completely. They've just upgraded our slow internet to something a lot faster, so now we can actually watch movies without it buffering every 15 minutes like it did before. The only reason we kept the cable was for the kids (and ended up watching just about nothing but kid shows, but with this box and Netflix they can find plenty to watch.
