As terrible as it may be, I simply enjoy watching TV at the end of the day. I spend all day thinking and writing, so being able to watch something completely ridiculous for an hour or so a day is a welcome event in my home. Realizing this, I have been pondering yet again, the value of taking an approach such as this one. Completely dumping cable/satellite and relying on Hulu with Miro for my TV entertainment? Seriously, access to old episodes of Buck Rogers is enough to make me want to get on a space ship and relive my childhood fantasies about becoming a space traveling ladies man who spends his free time in far out casinos, talking with birdmen.

Joost on the other hand, simply does nothing for me, so that was off my radar pretty quickly as the programming offered is just not my thing. But when you consider that the latest release of Miro now allows its users to easily subscribe to any thing providing video with RSS feeds, it does certainly provide some interesting possibilities.

Then I heard that Netflix is finally working to provide their users with LG set top boxes for use in their home. Finally, no more waiting for DVDs or forcing myself to use a browser that I choose not to support in my home if at all possible. If the boxes that are discussed in the article linked above come out at a reasonable price point, Netflix will suddenly see me reactivating my membership, that is for darn sure. And as you might suspect, Netflix, combined with Hulu will potentially spell the end of my cable TV requirements once and for all.
