You give me the idol, I hand you the whip!

So it's been a while since we've checked in.

Recent updates:
1) TV HAS ARRIVED
2) Canceled cable tonight! The cord is officially cut.
3) Started messing around with some internet viewing options. So far Netflix via the TV is working great. So is HuluPlus. For a grand total of $18 a month we're awash in streaming content.
4) Purchased an HD antenna- verdict so far: reasonably cool. 38 channels detected (but some are repeats and many are in Korean or Spanish- maybe without cable I'll also get rosetta stone and learn Korean and Spanish! I need to try connecting the cable wire to the TV to see if we get any channels that way and what the quality is. The over the air channels are acceptable in quality. Pretty good HD, actually.
5) Finally got TVersity working - at least a little. I need to tweak settings and figure out why it's inconsistent.
6) Messed around with PlayOn- this has promise but I need to get a license for it since my trial expired but I'm going to explore options one at a time.

The experiment, as of tonight, is in full force. More updates to come!
