AppleTV 2.0 Game Changer

Apple just released a free software update to the AppleTV supporting movie rentals. (among other things) This will probably be enough of a game changer for me to finally cancel my cable TV service. I get all the major networks in HD over the air and I don't really watch enough TV to justify my cable bill anyway so cable television is making less and less sense. I think given my HD TiVo and my AppleTV, I'll have home entertainment covered. The only thing keeping me connected to the cable company is Internet service. (funny how that worked out!) I can solve that by either a long distance WiFi connection to work or by getting another T1. (T1s are cheap these days) It is too bad FIOS (Fiber) isn't an option in my neighborhood!

Last night I rented Pirates of the Caribbean in HD and it looked fantastic. I predict that I won't have cable service a month from now.
