2) My kids would rather play video games than watch TV. We have the occasional family movie night to watch a Blu-ray, and they like the occasional Phineas and Ferb from Netflix, but rarely do they ASK for the TV. They greatly prefer the interactive stuff.

#2 is what cable companies and content providers really need to watch out for.

We cut the cord months ago. Netflix only.

I'm on the road a lot and stay in hotel rooms about 4 nights a week. While I enjoy HBO and HDNET, I watch nothing else. None of the other 40 or so channels offer up any decent entertainment. It's only reinforced that we made the correct decision when we decided to stop paying huge amounts of money for lousy TV shows.
