Ever since he mentioned that, I've been considering doing that, but I have maybe 4 or 5 new shows I watch throughout the year and it'd suck having to wait til they're old enough for Netflix to MAYBE have them. If they got newer shows as they came out, I doubt I'd be the only one to consider saying screw it to cable and going with only Netflix.
In a way I am very close to this. I don't have a lot of time for TV, but there are a few shows I watch so I DVR them. When I do have some TV time I often watch a movie that I either have on DVD from Netflix or that I stream. If they had the few shows I watch on Netflix the only thing I would even need a TV for is sports and you can pay to watch most every game online if you want so buying a hockey, baseball and football online subscription would be far cheaper than the cost of cable.
