Thinking in replacing regular cable TV by Netflix+Hulu plus. Is that a good idea?
With TV cable prices sky rocketing and bunch of commercials even though I'm paying a huge amount of money for the service, I started thinking about shutting that service off and going for streaming service instead.

I prefer reading, but wife loves some TV shows plus I like the local news. We already have Netflix, which is mainly for movies.

Did anyone try this agressive move and if was the case, what was wife's reaction?

Honestly, after 12 and a half years without television (cable, broadcast, online, or otherwise), my wife and I don't miss it at all. We do have a DVD player that we hardly ever use.
