My Journey to Cut the Cable Cord
By Julie Jacobson
Now that I have Netflix and Hulu Plus, I'm closer to cutting the cable cord, but there are still some content gaps and a problem with live news and sports.

I'm sick of cable, sick of CableCard, sick of cable bills, sick of "60 Minutes" not recording because a football game ran too long.

So I'm on a journey to cut the cable cord, once and for all. Hopefully you can help me do it.

I'm not concerned about movies right now. I get what I need through Netflix.



So it's my TV needs that must be addressed. I wish I didn't enjoy mindless TV as much as I do, and I sure hope my mother doesn't read this, but there you have it.

Here are some things you should know about me (and in some cases my husband).

Entertainment Content - Video

We must have "House," "Modern Family," "Big Bang Theory," "The Good Wife."

We enjoy the legal/crime/mystery shows but could possibly live without them: "The Mentalist," "Law & Order," "CSI," "Hawaii Five-0," "Terrier."

We can really get into some of the good series such as "Damages," "Flash Forward," "Breaking Bad" (never got into "Lost").
