My wife calls him my current man crush, and I wouldn’t totally disagree with her – Liev Schreiber is a bad ass now!

Like the complete opposite of Cotton Weary from back in the old Scream days, haha…

So just like with our cell phones last month, and car insurance and home phone service this month, we set out to tackle the TV portion of this outrageous bill all in the spirit of challenging everything. Well, I’ll let my wife answer that part: That’s reason #1 :) Obviously outside of my control, unless I fancy myself a divorce.

Reason #2 is that I too enjoy a handful of the offerings TV and premium channels serve up.

Send me one to test and then I’ll give one away too! I actually HAD a newer TV I picked up while pimping out my blogger lair a few years back! It’s 1/10th of the size, but hell – I might actually be able to pull something off for once! A one-time purchase for forever streaming of internet/tv/media etc on your TV w/out any monthly fees – huzzah!That was my favorite part: Using your cell phone as a remote :) Well, for you guys tons of options if you don’t rock an old-ass TV like we do ;) You can go the Blu-ray route if that’s your bag, the Roku route (didn’t look into much but I know some of you readers use and love them), or the cheaper – and more effective route, in my opinion – the Chromecast way. Then you work yourself away from cable and instant savings!As for us, we’re still up a creek without a paddle.Oops.) So I looked around and landed on the highly rated Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray that had built in Wi-Fi for .03 – on sale from 9.99 which it’s currently at. Not because it’s a bad product or anything (the reviews are great! ) and rocks HDTV surprisingly enough, but it never occurred to me that it had long met it’s prime w/ technology.I of course knew it was ancient, but who looks at the ports in the back when buying this stuff?Sigh…) Plain and simple, we’re tired of paying 0 for cable/internet/phone every month.We still want all three parts in our lives (notice the “want” there and not “need” – except for the internet), we just know there are cheaper ways to go about it if you harness creativity and newfangled technology.
