Directv owners...

[curbyourdesign]

Right now anyone who has Directv for over a year with an HD DVR and an extra receiver is paying around $80 a month.(at the least) That is roughly $960/yr. My wife and I watch Food Network, Discovery Channel, BRAVO ( wife only ) Animal Planet, SyFy, TLC and USA. Honestly the new Mac Mini is looking like a great way to ditch Directv and possibly save in the long run. Thoughts anyone??

How are you going to watch all that content without a cable or sat subscription?

What does the Mac Mini really have to do with this?

We ditched DirecTV about a year ago. We simply buy the latest episodes from iTunes for shows we want to watch now. For the rest, we have a Netflix account and use Plex on a Mini.

We're saving around $1,000 per year.

iTunes, Hulu (while its free) and possibly Netflix. The only drawback to this plan is Football season!

Get an Elgato EyeTV and watch it over the air.

the new Mac Mini refresh makes me wonder what Apple has in store for Apple TV. They would need to release this in order to keep people interested. http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/the-next-apple-tv-revealed-cloud-storage-and-iphone-os-on-tap/
