uuggghhhh, so little sister is suggesting Hulu Plus, but the issue is that we don't have super fast internet (we have a more local/state company) & it's hard enough to try & watch certain streams in decent quality, so it's going to be a HUGE downgrade, not to mention if the internet's down, can't resort to watching TV as a backup.
Hoping to convince my dad to downgrade from 200 to 120 channels (which would be $15 less per month) & might have to finally start chipping in, maybe pay half per month or just be like "screw it, I'LL pay for it, it's just a week's worth of donating plasma anyways". The only downside is losing FXX, i.e. the Simpsons Rerun Channel, but I'd still keep Cartoon Network.
