I admit it, I'm still wasting $100's of dollars on my FIOS TV quantum DVR box and service (plus all my premiums like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc.). I need help dumping this money suck. However, I am still addicted to recording multiple shows/time shifting vs streaming in general right now. I also have Amazon Fire TV, Netflix, and Hulu Plus, so I can see light at the end of the tunnel for cutting the network TV cord. I still plan on keeping the FIOS, but just for internet access to run all the streaming stuff and general internet access.
Can I get away with just what I have now, or would a HTPC be in order to view regular network stuff online and to provide DVR duties? Do the major networks require a cable service to view? Never tried. The other downside is now I'd also need to get separate subs to HBO Go, etc. Not sure I'd be saving that much then with tons of separate subs. /confused
