Dear Comcast: Stay out of our bedroom!

Short version:
I’m tired of paying for TV / “entertainment” content I’m not using and had heard about unlimited content viewing with Roku+Netflix for only $8.99 a month. Yup, for less than a burger / fries and coke in Oslo, I can watch 12,000+ TV / movie / entertainment titles on demand. So, as of today, the Comcast digital converter in our bedroom has been replaced by a Roku appliance (tiny little bugger, that) and downgraded to “boat anchor” status.

From now on, Comcast, you’re not leaving our living room… and if you keep jacking up the bill, I’ll put a bullet through you and have 100% of our content delivered free via Hulu, YouTube, the major networks and (oh yeah) my $8.99 Netflix subscription.

The world’s changing and you better get with the program or you’re gonna be roadkill.
